This is just one of many ways of doing it.
You should probably play with logs, connection limits,
running on lower permisions and stuff like that later,
but it should work without this.
Obviously you should add all Wikipedias to list (i have only 3 here)
and use correct paths.
1. install rsync
2. ensure that /etc/services contains this line (if not either add
this line or write port in /etc/inetd.conf numerucally):
rsync 873/tcp # rsync
3. create /etc/rsyncd.conf containing something like that:
read only = yes
[pl]
path = /home/taw/local/tmp/wiki-pl/
comment = Polish Wikipedia
[de]
path = /home/taw/local/tmp/wiki-de/
comment = German Wikipedia
[eo]
path = /home/taw/local/tmp/wiki-eo/
comment = Esperanto Wikipedia
4. put following line in /etc/inetd.conf
rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon
5. restart inetd
Now to check:
$ rsync localhost::
pl Polish Wikipedia
de German Wikipedia
eo Esperanto Wikipedia
$ rsync localhost::pl
