No, that tells me what --daemon does; how to run rsync
as a server. It does not tell me how to invoke rsync at the
remote end manually without doing server-side things
such as the reading of rsyncd.conf.
What I want documened is how to use a customized
transport that does not allow the client side to
send arbirtrary commands to the remote end.
The sort of thing done when using
ssh with keys and the command= option within an
authorized_keys file.
As mentioned, now I use command="rsync --server --daemon ."
in my authorized_keys file.
I once figured this out from old rsync man pages, but don't
see how to glean this command sequence from a more recent
man page.
Again, I might (eventually) get around to sending
in a man page patch if somebody explains how it's done.
