Bug#764616: rsync doesn't start during boot up process
Package: rsync Version: 3.1.1-3 Severity: serious Followup-For: Bug #764616 Dear Maintainer, I would like to perhaps further clarify and summarize the bug. The problem is that rsync, when installed, is not installed as an "enabled" systemd service by default. That means that after a default wheezy to jessie upgrade, rsync silently stops being started even if it has /etc/rsyncd.conf and used to get started with sysvinit. I believe the service should always be enabled by default; since there is no /etc/rsyncd.conf by default (I think) it will not start anyway, but that's something up to the user. The true issue here is that even if /etc/rsyncd.conf exists, the user has to manually do systemctl enable rsync after upgrade to restore working rsync, without a way about learning about that. No other services require this manual enable step during an upgrade (or I did not notice them not running yet ;-). I believe this breakage on upgrade is an rc bug that would be still good to fix soon with an update within stable. Therefore, I'm proposing an rc-grade severity for it.

Bug#764616: rsync doesn't start during boot up process
What config is a new install of rsync supposed to use? Anything that could be installed by default might in theory be a potential security risk. If you choose to install this daemon, then it's also your responsibility to ensure that a correct configuration exists for your needs. Its more about the systemctl enable command. I just posted above output so everyone can see whats going on. I installed rsync package by using apt, the links in /etc/rcX did exist but rsync didnt start after reboot. So this looked like the damon would have been already enabled by the installer (like done by all other debian packages), but it was not. This is unexpected situation and leads to wrong assumptions. So i dont know why this poses a security risk to not enable the daemon automatically by installation if it anyway doesnt gonna start when there is no default rsyncd.conf file and no RSYNC_ENABLE set. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You're apparently running systemd, but you're now using the old method of the symlinks? I don't have any experience with systemd (and I hope to keep it that way for as long as I can), but I don't think you should be using the rcX.d/ directories when using systemd. I hope someone else can help... That's the problem with systemd apparently, if it doesn't work it's very hard to find out why.
