3 # instant-rsyncd lets you quickly set up and start a simple, unprivileged rsync
4 # daemon with a single module in the current directory. I've found it
5 # invaluable for quick testing, and I use it when writing a list of commands
6 # that people can paste into a terminal to reproduce a daemon-related bug.
7 # Sysadmins deploying an rsync daemon for the first time may find it helpful as
8 # a starting point.
10 # Usage: instant-rsyncd MODULE PORT RSYNCD-USERNAME [RSYNC-PATH]
11 # The script asks for the rsyncd user's password twice on stdin, once to set it
12 # and once to log in to test the daemon.
