You don't need to guess - rsyncd uses TCP port 873 by default.  You
can observe that something is listening on that port on the server
side with netstat, and you can test from any client to the server
using telnet:

# not running, or blocked by firewall
$ telnet localhost 873
Trying 1.2.3.4...
telnet: connect to address 1.2.3.4: Connection refused

# running and accessible from your test client
[a1182492@vilgax ~]$ telnet rsyncserver 873
Trying 5.6.7.8...
Connected to rsyncserver.
Escape character is '^]'.
@RSYNCD: 30.0

Hope that helps.

Regards,
