Ya, I saw that.  It suggested changed to ssh for root to get it.  The point
was that configuration of some sort was needed, no matter which method was
used.  Added the changes to the rsyncd.conf file was extremely easy.

Once the files are copied, the rsync daemon will be disabled.  But, if I
were going to be using rsync consistantly over time, I would indeed fix up
ssh to do what is suggested.  For a one-time thing, never to be used again,
using the daemon and rsyncd.conf is a little easier :-)
