What do you guys do?
I would also like to run rsync as non-root, although I run it as root now.
I would like to do:
start rsync standalone connect to port 873 possibly chroot run as nobody
Is that possible? I understand that rsync changes from root to some non-root uid when it starts transferring, but in the mode where it processes commands there is a window of opportunity to make it do things. I would then like to close that window.
Why not use xinetd? That's what it's designed to do.
