First find the rsync port on your machine (probably 873)

    grep rsync /etc/services

Then find the iptables config file, which might be something
like this is your using a RedHat descendant:

    /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Look at the roles there and craft a rule similar to the others
to allow your port to be open *only between your trusted machines".

Good luck!
