I thought (possibly incorrectly): rsync uses rsh on the client side to
do the actual talking to the server. Try running rsync without rsh
installed. And it expects rshd on the server side. You 'could' also run
an rsyncd instead of a rshd on the server side, but us clients would be
connecting on a different port (873). As we are not doing do, we are
talking to your rshd. All rather Berkeley.
