dit(bf(log file)) The "log file" option tells the rsync daemon to log
messages to that file rather than using syslog. This is particularly
useful on systems (such as AIX) where code(syslog()) doesn't work for
chrooted programs. If the daemon fails to open to specified file, it
will fall back to using syslog and output an error about the failure.
(Note that a failure to open the specified log file used to be a fatal
error.)
dit(bf(pid file)) The "pid file" option tells the rsync daemon to write
its process ID to that file.
dit(bf(syslog facility)) The "syslog facility" option allows you to
specify the syslog facility name to use when logging messages from the
rsync daemon. You may use any standard syslog facility name which is
defined on your system. Common names are auth, authpriv, cron, daemon,
ftp, kern, lpr, mail, news, security, syslog, user, uucp, local0,
local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6 and local7. The default
is daemon.
dit(bf(port)) You can override the default port the daemon will listen on
by specifying this value (defaults to 873). This is ignored if the daemon
is being run by inetd, and is superseded by the bf(--port) command-line option.

See also the "lock file" option.
dit(bf(log file)) When the "log file" option is set to a non-empty
string, the rsync daemon will log messages to the indicated file rather
than using syslog. This is particularly useful on systems (such as AIX)
where code(syslog()) doesn't work for chrooted programs. The file is
opened before code(chroot()) is called, allowing it to be placed outside
the transfer. If this value is set on a per-module basis instead of
globally, the global log will still contain any authorization failures
or config-file error messages.
If the daemon fails to open to specified file, it will fall back to
using syslog and output an error about the failure. (Note that the
failure to open the specified log file used to be a fatal error.)
dit(bf(syslog facility)) The "syslog facility" option allows you to
specify the syslog facility name to use when logging messages from the

is daemon. This setting has no effect if the "log file" setting is a
non-empty string (either set in the per-modules settings, or inherited
from the global settings).
dit(bf(max verbosity)) The "max verbosity" option allows you to control
the maximum amount of verbose information that you'll allow the daemon to
generate (since the information goes into the log file). The default is 1,
