-Rsync uses rsh or ssh for communication. It does not need to be setuid
-and requires no special privileges for installation. It does not
-require a inetd entry or a daemon. You must, however, have a working
-rsh or ssh system. Using ssh is recommended for its security

+Rsync normally uses rsh or ssh for communication. It does not need to
+be setuid and requires no special privileges for installation. You

+
+Alternatively, rsync can run in `daemon' mode, listening on a socket.
+This is generally used for public file distribution, although
+authentication and access control are available.
To install rsync, first run the "configure" script. This will create a
Makefile and config.h appropriate for your system. Then type
source code repository then you can use anonymous cvs. You will need a
recent version of cvs then use the following commands:
- cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.samba.org:/cvsroot login
+ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot login
Password: cvs
- cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.samba.org:/cvsroot co rsync
+ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co rsync
-Look at the cvs documentation for more details.
+Look at the cvs documentation, or http://samba.org/cvs.html, for more
