Is there an rsync set up How-To for a recent version of OpenBSD? I found "Using rsync to synchronize or mirror your home directory files to an USB stick" but that doesn't cover rsyncd server configuration.

The port includes surprisingly little set up support. No examples in:
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes
/usr/local/share/doc/rsync
/etc/examples

Since (thankfully) there is an /etc/rc.d/rsyncd script, I guess a typical setup would include an /etc/rsyncd.conf, an "rsyncd_flags=" entry in /etc/rc.conf.local, and then any other scripts or convenient aliases for a few typical use cases.

Does anyone know if this information is consolidated anywhere? If not, do-you-want-to/will-you post your research, setup (examples), experiences, and/or suggestions?
