Can't check from here, but probably you can use ssh or stunnel to tunnel rsync 
connections to the server inside ssl. This way, you still have to have rsyncd 
running on the server, but can restrict incoming connections to localhost 
(ie, the server itself) only, and close rsync port (873 IIRC) to the rest of 
the world.
