The rsyncd.conf in the package doesn't have that.  You must have put that there yourself.

hmmm.... 

snippet from man rsyncd.conf:

      motd file
              This parameter allows you to specify a "message of the  day"  to
              display  to  clients on each connect. This usually contains site
              information and any legal notices. The default is no motd  file.
              This  can  be  overridden  by  the  --dparam=motdfile=FILE  comâ
              mand-line option when starting the daemon.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: INVALID => (none)

MY error!

The paramater should be:
motd file = <filename>

Misreading the man page!

Found my error reqading the loadparm.c file.

Pardon the noise.
