This may seem odd, but I'm trying to start rsync in daemon mode from an ssh connection... ie, something like this:

ssh host1 /usr/bin/rsync --daemon --port=9999 --config=/path/to/config.txt

the reason why is i need to start it on 40 machines and manually logging into each one is a pain. even with copying and pasting. i'd rather just write a shell script to do it in a loop.

anyway it doesn't work.  it just prints

@RSYNCD: 26

turned out to be an ssh question more than an rsync question. just do

ssh -t host rsync --daemon

forces ssh to allocate a pseudotty so rsync has something to detach from.

hope this helps somebody out.
