This is on a system where /etc/rsyncd.conf does not exist and goes away if /etc/rsyncd.conf is an empty file.
Version: rsync version 3.2.5 protocol version 31 Command: rsync --daemon What happens: The program outputs "Failed to parse config file: /etc/rsyncd.conf" What I expect: The program should run with the same default values it does when /etc/rsyncd.conf is an empty file. Bonus: The install process installs an example file at /etc/rsyncd.conf with the intended defaults and documented with comments. If there are security concerns enough to require creating a config file before enabling, the error message should explicitly say that. The current behavior is probably known and not a large concern, but it is still an annoying usability shock for such a mature piece of software. -- Colton Lewis -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
