=item serverConnect(host, port)

Connect to the Rsync daemon on the given string host and integer

Specify which module to use (a "module" is the symbolic name that

(authRequired). If set to a non-zero value, authRequired ensures
that the remote Rsync daemon requires authentication.  If necessary,
this is to ensure that you don't connect to an insecure Rsync daemon.

host called navajo had a /etc/rsyncd.conf contains these lines:
