+%package ssl-daemon
+Summary: An stunnel config file to support ssl rsync daemon connections.
+Group: Applications/Internet
+Requires: rsync, stunnel >= 4
+
+%description
+Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool.  It can
+copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell, or to/from a
+remote rsync daemon.  It offers a large number of options that control
+every aspect of its behavior and permit very flexible specification of the
+set of files to be copied.  It is famous for its delta-transfer algorithm,
+which reduces the amount of data sent over the network by sending only the
+differences between the source files and the existing files in the
+destination.  Rsync is widely used for backups and mirroring and as an
+improved copy command for everyday use.
+
+%description ssl-daemon
+Provides a config file for stunnel that will (if you start your stunnel
+service) cause stunnel to listen for ssl rsync-daemon connections and run
+"rsync --daemon" to handle them.
+
