rsync daemon troubleshooting

[chuang liu]

Hi all:

I tried to start a rsync daemon under my user name (not an administrator)
on debian linux box(linux kernel 2.4.27), and failed. The command I used
is

> rsync -v -v --daemon --config=rsyncd.conf

This command returns without any error although the daemon does not get
started. The rsyncd.conf I used is as follows. Do I miss anything in
the configuration file? Any help is appreciated.

BTW: I tried the same command on another linux box (kernel 2.6.15), and it
works.

Thanks.
