Installation of rsync
For security reasons, running the rsync server as
an unprivileged user and group is encouraged. Create the rsyncd user
and group with the following commands:
groupadd rsyncd &&
useradd -c rsyncd -d /home/rsync -g rsyncd -s /bin/false rsyncd
Install rsync by running the following
commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install
