rsync modules?


Hi. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't use rsync and the man page is a bit cryptic.

From "man rsync"


Quote:
CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM

...
In order to distinguish between the remote-shell user and the rsync
server user, you can use '-l user' on your remote-shell command:

rsync -av --rsh="ssh -l ssh-user" rsync-user@host::module[/path]
local-path

What the heck is "module"?

I started an rsync daemon on my box via:


Code:
/etc/init.d/rsyncd start

I thought that's all I would have to do, but according to the man page:

Quote:
rsync somehost.mydomain.com::

This would list all the anonymous rsync modules available on the host
somehost.mydomain.com. (See the following section for more details.)

When I do that I get no output, so I guess that I need to install these missing "modules" that the man page does not explain.

Any help?

Thanks, guys.

Check out the examples and setting up ssh here:

http://rsync.samba.org/documentation.html

That should at least get you pointed in the right direction.
