rsync - Dec 2001 - using uid instead of USER or LOGNAME

Are there any known patches to use a users effective uid rather than the 
environment variables USER or LOGNAME with an rsync server. Any suggestions 
would be appreciated.

The server doesn't use those variables, but the client does when talking to
an rsync server so I'm assuming that's what you mean.  All you should
have
to do on the client side is set the $USER environment variable or
explicitly add a "user@" before the host name on the client command
line,
no patch is needed.
