Rsync Default configuration file

# defaults file for rsync daemon mode

# start rsync in daemon mode from INIT.D script?
# only allowed values is "true", "false", and "inetd"
# use "inetd" if you want to start the RSYNCD from inetd,
# All this does are prevent the Init.d script from printing a message
# about Don't starting RSYNCD (you still need to modify inetd ' config yourself).
Rsync_enable=false

# which file should is used as the configuration file for rsync.
# This file is used instead of the default/etc/rsyncd.conf
# warning:this option have no effect if the daemon is accessed
# using a remote shell. When using a different file for
# rsync might want to symlink/etc/rsyncd.conf to
# that file.

# What extra options to give Rsync--daemon?
# that excludes the--daemon; That's always do in the INIT.D script
# possibilities are:
#--address=123.45.67.89 (bind to a specific IP address)
#--port=8730 (bind to specified port; default 873)
Rsync_opts= "

# run RSYNCD at a nice level?
# The Rsync daemon can impact performance due to much I/O and CPU usage,
# So, want to run it at a nicer priority than the default priority.
# Allowed values are 0-19 inclusive; is a reasonable value.
Rsync_nice= "

# run RSYNCD with Ionice?
# "Ionice" does for IO load, "nice" does for CPU load.
# as Rsync is often used for backups which aren ' t all that time-critical,
# Reducing the Rsync IO priority would benefit the rest of the system.
# See the manpage for Ionice for allowed options.
#-C3 is recommended, this would run rsync IO at "idle" priority. Uncomment
# The next line to activate.
# rsync_ionice= '-c3 '

# Don ' t forget to the create an appropriate config file,
# Else the daemon would not start.
