A while back, there was a patch for a "write only" option in
rsyncd.conf[1]. I use rsync for network backups, and I would be
slightly more comfortable if other hosts couldn't read their backups
(even though they can clobber them). Imagine that I scrub some
sensitive data just before someone steals my laptop. I don't want him
to be able to retrieve the data from backup. (I know, this scenario is
rather far-fetched.)
Is there any interest in reviving this patch?
