No.  Please refer to the just-updated manpage on the web which should
hopefully make this area clearer:

    http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html

Look for the adjacent sections "CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC DAEMON" and
"USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION".  See also
the --rsh option for a brief mention of how it interacts with daemon-
mode command-line syntax.

A single-use "daemon" server looks for the config file in the home-dir
of the remote user.

Yes, that's an error.  I've removed the talk of client-oriented options
from the rsyncd.conf manpage (which should only be talking about daemon-
oriented options).
