Thanks. Well, first I have to ensure that inetd and no other mechanism I foolishly initiated in my efforts is running. I'm working on that now.

But is there a point to running sudo rsync....  if the object is to use systemctl to run the daemon? Is that for a test or permanent? Yes, I'm confused :-)  And systemctl has already been initiated.

At this point, I'd recommend

sudo rsync --daemon --foreground --verbose

So you can actually tell what's happening.

According to the man page, --foreground should be --no-detach. That keeps the daemon from disappearing and causes its output to appear on the terminal. So the command would be:

sudo rsync --daemon --no-detach --verbose
