Nope. Rsync groups are not groups of users they are just @users with
their own password. I believe the @ just designates that you intend
multiple people to have that password and use that username.

I think you are thinking too much of rsync here. Rsync groups are the
same as users they just have an @ in front of the name. If you want
UNIX style users and groups then use rsync over ssh and get the
bonus of
ssh's authentication as well as not needing an rsyncd.conf file at all.
Well, actually, I wouldn't like to do anything with system users and groups,
but it would be nice to have virtual users and groups, which are
available for rsyncd only.
Is it possible?
Or maybe there is an opportunity to use external authentication
mechanisms or some kind of modules, etc?
