I personally haven't used rsync in daemon-mode, so i can only "guess by manpage". >From what i see in the man-page i would guess that setting up user/passwort protection may work in your case. On the client-side the passwort can be put into the "RSYNC_PASSWORD"-Environment-Variable, so the connection still works automatically. In case you can prevent your users from reading the script/(whatever creates your environment) you should be able to hide the password from most users.
