I'm glad you posted that Wayne, because I've been scratching my head too
wondering what use the rsync daemon is. I've never used it either; I
thought that maybe it was just me.
With the rsync server you can have users transfer files without an account
on the remote system similar to anonymous ftp. You get the additional
advantages of rsync including:
* Only actual changed pieces of files are transferred
* The tiny pieces of diffs are compressed on the fly
I agree that for many users the server is not needed, but it does provide
advantages in some cases.
