Documentation is definitely not my strong suit :-)  It's
pretty rough, and I'm not sure that it's in the place that
makes the most sense, but it's at least a start.  Let me
know what your thoughts are.

I first checked out rsync from CVS this morning and started
with rsyncd.conf.5 from that.  I'm including the whole
*changed* rsyncd.conf.5 - I added an EXAMPLE in the
"auth users" section.

Thanks.
