The article says it clearly:

scp -- wrong. rsync, scp and sftp are all different ways of
transferring files securely over SSH. scp did use to use its own
protocol at one point, but it has been upgraded to use the same
underlying protocol as sftp, so it’s perfectly fine to continue using
the same command, if that’s what you’re used to. There is no sign that
the scp command itself is going to be deprecated at any point, though
no doubt the option to fall back to the old protocol for
compatibility’s sake is likely to be removed eventually.

AFAIK yes, the transfer happens of the ssh port with ssh type of 
encryption. That is what the article says, so take it with a pinch of 
salt. Variances per distributions. It is true in openSUSE.

If you use "rsync://" on the client command line, you're connecting
to rsyncd using the Rsync protocol which doesn't use encryption,
which I often do for LAN transfers. You could still use SSH
tunneling for encryption of course.

I am using the rsync:// syntax, and I don't remember opening another

I’ve never found a use for the rsyncd protocol, and I don’t think
anyone would recommend its use for anything serious any more. Just
look at the description <https://manpages.debian.org/rsyncd.conf(5)>:
it uses a laughably weak authentication handshake, and the data
transfer isn’t even encrypted.

SSH is the way to go.

In local, campus or corporate networks: Efficient distribution of
large data sets that are not top secret.

According to the man page it's TCP port 873.

Anyway I think it makes much more sense than dealing with all the
complexities, fragilities, and inefficiencies of encryption just
to do transfers over a private LAN. LDO evidently concludes the
opposite.

Here's an example of a public rsync 'site'. This command lists
syncable directories and their descriptions:

rsync rsync://mirrors.dotsrc.org

This page also describes how it can use TLS encryption using a
script for OpenSSL "s_client", but that's not part of the base
protocol:

/etc/firewalld/zones/external.xml:

   <rule family="ipv4"> 
  

     <source address="192.168.0.0/16"/> 
  

     <service name="rsyncd"/> 
  

     <accept/> 
  

   </rule>

openSUSE uses rsync:// to distribute the distribution to mirrors.

If you tell it to connect to an rsyncd then indeed it does not use SSH.

Personally I have never bothered with rsyncd...

The zdnet article says nothing about what protocol rsync uses.

I think it is straight streaming of bytes and that is it.
Locally i have nfs mounts to move data around.

So I don't really use ssh protocols to copy data at all.

I'm currently looking at moving from backing up data on Samba shares, to 
ssh/rsync (due to symlink issues). I fell at the first hurdle of how to 
have root access on both local and remote host. Eventually I created a 
new remote user account with passwordless sudo, specifically for rsync. 
The solution seemed a bit crap. It seemed that such a common usecase 
should be better documented, like I was missing something.

Does rsyncd solve this root access problem? Is it a better/more orthodox 
solution.

I could potentially use nfs, but I do still use Windows occasionally, so 
would like access from Windows, I did briefly consider dual shares using 
both Samba and nfs.

You can configure to access ssh as root without typing a password. With 
key pairs, and have an agent remember the phrase for you, or have none.

Yes, rsyncd does this.

I thought I'd jump in here, and point out that you can have
a passphraseless secret key on the client, and set the key
in authorized_keys to only be able to run a single command
(or a set of commands).

Regarding rsyncd, you should have a client program, rsync-ssl
installed:

$ apt-file search -x ^/usr/bin/rsync-ssl$
rsync: /usr/bin/rsync-ssl                 

However, I believe you have to set up an ssl proxy like nginx
to handle the SSL/TLS.  See the section "SSL/TLS Daemon Setup"
in rsyncd.conf(5) for how to do that.

Cool. I tailored sudo to only be passwordless for rsync, I'm not sure 
what extra this gives me, but it is interesting.

I note I had to write a wrapper bash script to allow command arguments.

My concern was about having a root account.

AIUI, modern security advice is to not have an interactive root account, 
i.e. with a password. So being a good boy, I don't. Whether this 
strategy is practical in the real world is unclear to me.

I always enable one.

Sometimes when there is an emergency you need not to have to type 'sudo'

I am not sure that duplicates roots environment exactly.
