Public bug reported:
The man page documention (man rsyncd.conf) states:
numeric ids
Enabling this parameter disables the mapping of users and groups
by name for the current daemon module. This prevents the daemon
from trying to load any user/group-related files or libraries.
This enabling makes the transfer behave as if the client had
passed the --numeric-ids command-line option. By default, this
parameter is enabled for chroot modules and disabled for
non-chroot modules.
A chroot-enabled module should not have this parameter enabled
unless you’ve taken steps to ensure that the module has the nec‐
essary resources it needs to translate names, and that it is not
possible for a user to change those resources.
"A chroot-enabled module should not have" should read "A chroot-
enabled module should have" (removed the word 'not') as that is the
default and expected behavior when chroot is enabled.
