rsync - Apr 2004 - Issue with rsync server 2.5.7 on OpenBSD 3.4.

Hi.
Are there any known issues with running rsync as a inetd server, or a daemon,
and connecting to it straight, without using any remote shell?

When I try to connect, using rsync xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::, or even a rsync
localhost:: from the local machine , with a root user - it throws me the
following message:

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/usr/ports/net/rsync/w-rsync-2.5.7/rsync-2.5.7/io.c(165)

Is an update to the latest version will work? And will it run well on the BSD?

Look in your syslog to see why the rsyncd is shutting down.  One
possibility is that the permissions/ownership of the secrets file
(if you're using one) is wrong.
