+# start rsync in daemon mode from init.d script?
+# only allowed values are "true", "false", and "inetd"
+# Use "inetd" if you want to start the rsyncd from inetd,
+# all this does is prevent the init.d script from printing a message
+# about not starting rsyncd (you still need to modify inetd's config yourself).

+# which file should be used as the configuration file for rsync.
+# This file is used instead of the default /etc/rsyncd.conf
+# Warning: This option has no effect if the daemon is accessed
+# using a remote shell. When using a different file for
+# rsync you might want to symlink /etc/rsyncd.conf to
+# that file.

+# what extra options to give rsync --daemon?
+# that excludes the --daemon; that's always done in the init.d script
+# Possibilities are:
+# --address=123.45.67.89 (bind to a specific IP address)
+# --port=8730 (bind to specified port; default 873)

+
+# run rsyncd at a nice level?
+# the rsync daemon can impact performance due to much I/O and CPU usage,
+# so you may want to run it at a nicer priority than the default priority.
+# Allowed values are 0 - 19 inclusive; 10 is a reasonable value.
+RSYNC_NICE='10'
+
+# run rsyncd with ionice?
+# "ionice" does for IO load what "nice" does for CPU load.
+# As rsync is often used for backups which aren't all that time-critical,
+# reducing the rsync IO priority will benefit the rest of the system.
+# See the manpage for ionice for allowed options.
+# -c3 is recommended, this will run rsync IO at "idle" priority. Uncomment
+# the next line to activate this.
+RSYNC_IONICE='-c3'
+
+# Don't forget to create an appropriate config file,
+# else the daemon will not start.
