Brian,
* You can have multiple entries in /etc/rsyncd.conf like
[space]
path = /space/docs
comment = Space docs
read only = yes
list = yes
max connections = 50
lock file = /tmp/rsyncd.lock
[home]
path = /home
comment =home dir
read only = yes
list = yes
max connections = 50
lock file = /tmp/rsyncd.lock
* to list available shares run
~#rsync rserver::
space Space docs
home home dir
* when rsyncd receives a request from client it forks and forked process
dies once it serves the request. At client side user can chose which share
to be sync'ed .
* Also its good to enable "-z" flag by default which would compress data and
sent across.
