"To use the rsyncd server you must copy /opt/local/etc/rsyncd.conf.example ..."?

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I have a test machine setup with Macports. The machine took some
updates, and it produced the following message:

<MESSAGE>
To use the rsyncd server you must copy /opt/local/etc/rsyncd.conf.example to
rsyncd.conf and add your modules there. See 'man rsyncd.conf' for more
information.
</MESSAGE>

I have to apologize, but I have no idea about rsyncd or the the
message, and searching is not producing helpful results.

Is there an actionable item for me to perform? If so, what should I be
doing (is it just the copy that's been called out)?

Thanks in advance.
