$Conf{ClientShareName2Path} = {
'backuppc' => '/var/lib/backuppc',
'boot-efi' => '/boot/efi',
'home' => '/home',
'root' => '/',
};

The script uses 'rsync' not 'rsyncd'
Not sure why you would ever want to use 'rsyncd' as it is less secure
(it uses a password 'secret' rather than a passphrase) and is more
complicated to setup than just running ssh over a background sshd daemon.
