rsync - Jul 2015 - restrictions on module names

Hi,

I had named a module as "global" and it appears not to be recognized.
It
appears a section

[global]
path=xxx
etc.

is interpreted as global parameters and not as a module named global. Is
that the expected behaviour? Any pointers as to what names are allowed for
modules will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Selva

That is the only undocumented weirdness in module names that I know of. The
other restrictions (no slashes, no closing square brackets, spaces get
compressed) are all mentioned in the rsyncd.conf manpage.  I've added
mention of the reserved name "global" to the manapge for the next
release.
