<para>Note that you only want to start the <application>rsync</application> 
server if you want to provide a <application>rsync</application> archive on 
your machine. The <application>rsync</application> client doesn't need this 
script to be used.  Having said that, if you want to run the <application>rsync
</application> daemon, the <command>rsyncd</command> init.d script can be 
created using the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>cat &gt; /etc/rc.d/init.d/rsyncd &lt;&lt; "EOF"</command>
#!/bin/sh
# Begin $rc_base/init.d/rsyncd

# Based on sysklogd script from LFS-3.1 and earlier.
