The problem here are the default settings for an unconfigured system.

I have just added a new kernel boot option rsbac_no_defaults, which 
suppresses any automatic setups. If you use this with rsbac_softmode (and no 
maint kernel), you should also use rsbac_nosyslog - otherwise your screen 
will be flooded with errors.

You find this in the 2.4.19-v1.2.1 dir on the rsync server.

It should work nevertheless, because FD is the default target and gets used 
when missing. Will correct this.
