That message comes from the client_name() function in log.c, which is called
at the beginning of the rsync_module() function in clientserver.c, and 
CVS doesn't show any change between 2.4.4 and 2.4.6.  I don't think they're
fatal.

2.5.0 has a big problem with --daemon which is fixed in all the 2.5.1pre*
versions under the "preview" directory on the download site.
