That's just the way it works. You have to tell it what user you want it to connect as. I think it will use $USER if not specified otherwise, even with ::. rsync user@server::module/path

I have "auth users = username" set in /etc/rsyncd.conf and a corresponding entry in /etc/rsyncd.secrets but still rsync only asks for a password.
