Entry from the log file

2018/04/17 12:50:15 [7012724] rsyncd version 3.1.2 starting, listening on port 873

The 3.1.3 version does not start in daemon mode

# rpm -q rsync
rsync-3.1.3-1.ppc

# /usr/bin/rsync --daemon

Each startup adds these four same, excluding timestamp and PID, lines in the log file are:

2018/04/17 12:52:33 [6685068] rsyncd version 3.1.3 starting, listening on port 873
2018/04/17 12:52:33 [6685068] bind() failed: Invalid argument (address-family 2)
2018/04/17 12:52:33 [6685068] unable to bind any inbound sockets on port 873
2018/04/17 12:52:33 [6685068] rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(555) [Receiver=3.1.3]

I've tried various combination of "-4", "--ipv4", "-6", "--ipv6", "--verbose" and "--no-detach" arguments, none have resulted in rsync running in daemon mode.

I've attached output from "truss -a -d -D -e -f -l -mall -m!fltpage -s all -t all -X rsync --daemon" to this post.

Anyone ever solve this? Just hit me after an update.

UPDATE: Downgrading to previous version worked.
