Acquisition Modules and Platinum Firmware Platinum Firmware Upgrades
You will also need to choose a module name for the server. This can be any
descriptive string but, for simplicity, it is best to stick to numbers, lower-case
letters and hyphens (-). The name platinum­local­mirror has been used
in the following example and should be replaced with the module name you
have chosen.
Create the file /etc/rsyncd.conf with the following contents:
port = 61616
[platinum-local-mirror]
path = /path/to/your/local/mirror/directory
comment = GSL-EAM firmware
numeric ids = yes
log file = /path/to/writeable/log/file
timeout = 600
hosts allow = *
Consult the manual page for rsyncd.conf(5) for details of further options
that you can use in this file, including optional security improvements. This
is available on-line at http://man-wiki.net/index.php/5:rsyncd.conf .
Once the /etc/rsyncd.conf file is ready, you can start the rsync server
with the command
sudo rsync --daemon
If you want to run the rsync server permanently, it is possible to start it via
inetd, xinetd or an rc script. Consult the manual page for rsyncd.conf(5)
for further details.

RSYNC_MODULE="platinum-local-mirror"
replacing:
• address.of.my.server with the DNS name or IP address of the
mirror server;
• 61616 with the port number you chose earlier; and
• platinum­local­mirror with the module name you chose earlier;
Note the quotation marks around the variables.
