# defaults file for rsync daemon mode # # This file is only used for init.d based systems! # If this system uses systemd, you can specify options etc. for rsync # in daemon mode by copying /lib/systemd/system/rsync.service to # /etc/systemd/system/rsync.service and modifying the copy; add required # options to the ExecStart line. # start rsync in daemon mode from init.d script? # only allowed values are "true", "false", and "inetd" # Use "inetd" if you want to start the rsyncd from inetd, # all this does is prevent the init.d script from printing a message # about not starting rsyncd (you still need to modify inetd's config yourself). RSYNC_ENABLE=false # which file should be used as the configuration file for rsync. # This file is used instead of the default /etc/rsyncd.conf # Warning: This option has no effect if the daemon is accessed # using a remote shell. When using a different file for # rsync you might want to symlink /etc/rsyncd.conf to # that file. # RSYNC_CONFIG_FILE= # what extra options to give rsync --daemon? # that excludes the --daemon; that's always done 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 you may want to run it at a nicer priority than the default priority. # Allowed values are 0 - 19 inclusive; 10 is a reasonable value. RSYNC_NICE='' # run rsyncd with ionice? # "ionice" does for IO load what "nice" does for CPU load. # As rsync is often used for backups which aren't all that time-critical, # reducing the rsync IO priority will benefit the rest of the system. # See the manpage for ionice for allowed options. # -c3 is recommended, this will run rsync IO at "idle" priority. Uncomment # the next line to activate this. # RSYNC_IONICE='-c3' # Don't forget to create an appropriate config file, # else the daemon will not start.
