Sample configuration file (/etc/conf.d/rsyncd):

ADDRESS="192.168.1.137"
   rsyncd (0 KiB)

Why wouldn't you just keep this KISS by allowing any options in /etc/conf.d/rsyncd as the ARGS variable?

Whatever solutions is OK for me. I changed the variable name to RSYNCD_ARGS, so now a sample configuration file would look like this:

RSYNCD_ARGS="--address 192.168.1.137"
   rsyncd (0.8 KiB)
