Hi,

rsync when run as a daemon from /etc/rc.d/rsyncd writes it's own pid file to /var/run/rsyncd.pid this conflicts with the start-stop script which also writes the pid file.  I couldn't get rsync to start as a daemon after upgrading yesterday, without commenting out the line in the start-stop script: case "$1" in  start)    stat_busy "Starting rsyncd"    [ ! -f /var/run/daemons/rsyncd ] && /usr/bin/rsync --daemon    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then      stat_fail    else      # pgrep -of "/usr/bin/rsync --daemon" > /var/run/rsyncd.pid      add_daemon rsyncd      stat_done    fi    ;;

Should I report this as a bug, I have searched bugs.archlinux.org for rsync with no results, and also in the forums.

cheers

Chris
