Thanks Cameron. I must be doing something wrong then.
In /etc/inetd.conf I've added the following:
rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon
When I try to rsync something from my workstation to that server (which is
behind Gordon's firewall script), I'm getting rejects on the firewall on
port 514.
If I open up port 514 on the firewall (in addition to port 873 (rsync), I
get "poll: protocol failure in circuit setup" and it fails.
Any pointers to what I may be doing wrong are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

No. You run an rsync in daemon mode. It has its own port number.
Transport is plain TCP, just like web servers or whatever are - no rsh
or ssh involved.
