Behaviour differs from manpage when contacting rsync daemon via remote shell #1020

Description

@paulusmack

The man page says that if you do rsync -e ssh user@host::module, the user is the rsync user (for authenticating to the rsync daemon) not the ssh user. In fact rsync executes ssh -l user host in this instance and does not use user as the rsync user, contradicting the documentation.

I assume that the behaviour described in the documentation is what was intended, because as it stands there is no way to set the rsync user name.
