[TriLUG] rsyncd.conf

[Jason Tower]

jeez, first jtate and now you poking fun at my pr0n collection?  well, i 
guess that's a better legacy to leave behind than the "bob/bob" fiasco.

as for your original question, i don't know why it fails to work (i've 
only used rsyncd in a push mode, not pull).  maybe the slash between var 
and log needs to be escaped?  or perhaps you could symlink /log to 
/var/log on the target machine and put /log in the rsyncd.conf include?
