On comparing file sizes I noted that the 2.6.8 versions of rscynd and rsync

Should the rsync*.tar.gz install procedure replaced rsyncd 2.6.8 as well as
rsync 2.6.8 with the 3.0.6 version?
Stopped the rscyncd and re-ran the install of the tar.gz but no change. The
install was done as root.

Depends on how the package was built. Rsync is just one executable, so
be sure to put it in a consistent spot. For your
