Subject:   rsync as a daemon doesn't play nice with rcng
Message-ID:  <20061130170943.70c02bfe.wmoran@potentialtech.com>

Noticed that the rsync port has an rcng compliant script for starting
rsync in daemon mode.  Nice.

Unfortunately, rsync doesn't seem to write its pidfile to /var/run,
and doesn't seem to even _support_ doing so.  As a result, the rc
system is unable to determine when it's running, thus stop and
restart work poorly.

Is there a mechanism within the rc system that can work around this
so the rc script can be improved?
