I got the daemon back up, but I am getting a new error after going through
the authorizing process. After putting in the password for authentification,
I get the following error:

# rsync -zav --progress realperson@<remote-server-ip>::realperson
/random/file-or-directory/
Password: 
@ERROR: invalid gid admins
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1383)
[receiver=2.6.9]

I have "users" set as the gid in my rsync config file. I have also ran rsync
--daemon --config=rsyncd.conf to make sure that rsync was lookin at the
right config file. Do you have an idea why this returning this error, even
though is it otherwise in my config file?
