You need a "secrets file" as rsyncd.conf.5 says:
auth users
The "auth users" option specifies a comma and space
separated list of usernames that will be allowed to
connect to this module. The usernames do not need
to exist on the local system. The usernames may
also contain shell wildcard characters. If "auth
users" is set then the client will be challenged to
supply a username and password to connect to the
module. A challenge response authentication proto-
col is used for this exchange. The plain text user-
names are passwords are stored in the file speci-
fied by the "secrets file" option. The default is
for all users to be able to connect without a pass-
word (this is called "anonymous rsync").
