I would say, the synopsis needs an update. I vaguely remembered postings meantioning this mode, but not that it was "officially supported", seams i was wrong in that regard and it boils down to what Kevin Korb said: rsync expects it's conf in the home-directory and according to --conf it's called rsyncd.conf (not .rsyncd.conf?) -- Matthias -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
