Package: rsync
Version: 3.1.1-3
I've set the RSYNC_OPTS='--port=9500' in /etc/default/rsync but it does
not affect daemon options.
In Debian 7 all were OK.
/etc/default/rsync
[..]
# 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).
RSYNC_ENABLE=true
# 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)
RSYNC_OPTS='--port=9500'
[..]
# ps aux | grep rsync
root 9401 0.0 0.1 13804 2492 ? Ss 22:29 0:00
/usr/bin/rsync --daemon --no-detach
But the funny thing.
When I copy /etc/init.d/rsync to fe. /etc/init.d/whatever and I start it
from new script, it is OK:
# cp /etc/init.d/rsync /etc/init.d/whatever
# systemctl daemon-reload
# /etc/init.d/whatever start
[ ok ] Starting whatever (via systemctl): whatever.service.
# ps aux | grep rsync
root 9467 0.0 0.1 13804 2472 ? S 22:31 0:00
/usr/bin/rsync --no-detach --daemon --config /etc/rsyncd.conf --port=9500
So, what is going on?
Thanks.
Debian 8.7, latest update, default installation.
