-manpagesection(RUNNING AN RSYNC DAEMON OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM)
-
-If rsync is run with both the bf(--daemon) and bf(--rsh) (bf(-e)) options, it will
-spawn an rsync daemon using a remote shell connection. Several
-configuration options will not be available unless the remote user is
-root (e.g. chroot, setuid/setgid, etc.). There is no need to configure
-inetd or the services map to include the rsync daemon port if you run an
-rsync daemon only via a remote shell program.
-
-ADVANCED: To run an rsync daemon out of a single-use ssh key, use the
-"command=em(COMMAND)" syntax in the remote user's authorized_keys entry,
-where command would be
-
-quote(tt(rsync --server --daemon .))
-
-NOTE: rsync's argument parsing expects the trailing ".", so make sure
-that it's there. If you want to use an rsyncd.conf(5)-style
-configuration file other than the default, you can added a
-bf(--config) option to the em(command):
-
-quote(tt(rsync --server --daemon --config=em(file) .))
-
-Note that the "--server" here is the internal option that rsync uses to
-run the remote version of rsync that it communicates with, and thus you
-should not be using the bf(--server) option under normal circumstances.
