I’ve never found a use for rsyncd. All my network-based rsyncs have
been point-to-point connections via SSH.

I wouldn't recommend rsync:// protocol because it's unencrypted, although I
suppose on a LAN there could be higher throughput for not having to
en|decrypt data if your machines aren't particularly speedy.
