I haven't used logrotate, but modified rsync some time ago to have it close
and re-open the log file on every connection, to allow the log file to be
moved away when running as a stand-alone background daemon. When running
from xinetd you're re-starting rsync completely on every connection so it
would have worked even without my modification. Each individual connection
is pretty short lived so you shouldn't have to worry about any running
rsync daemon processes. Are you having a problem?
