I set up my home computer as an rsync server to mirror some stuff to 
school. This is a PC running suse 7.2. If i remember correctly, the 
steps were:

1. Install it, of course.
2. Enable the server in /etc/inetd.conf

rsync   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/rsyncd 
--daemon

3. Edit the configuration file, /etc/rsync.conf. Here is an example of 
an anonymous setting:

gid = users
uid = nobody
read only = true
use chroot = true
transfer logging = true
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log

[Example]
        path = /home/Example
        comment = An Example
