• Go and find a rsync-package for your distribution.

• Use these config files as a base:

$ vi /etc/rsyncd.conf

uid = nobody
gid = nobody
use chroot = no
read only = yes
strict modes = yes
max connections = 1
syslog facility = local5
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
[xxx]
      path = /mnt/xxx
      comment = XXX (approx 500 GB)
      auth users = susan
      secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

$ vi /etc/xinetd.d/rsync

service rsync
{
       disable = no
       socket_type     = stream
       wait            = no
       user            = root
       server          = /usr/bin/rsync
       server_args     = --daemon --bwlimit=KBPS
       log_on_failure  += USERID
}

$ vi /etc/rsyncd.secrets
