rsync-3.0.5 not available after install

hi,
I have just bougth a BWE 500Go and try to enable the rsync server.
According to the guide of this website it is better to upgrade the rsync version to safe memory.

Before the upgrade with ipkg I try

[root@MyBookWorld ~]# rsync --version
rsync  version 2.6.8  protocol version 29

I upgrade with

/opt/bin/ipkg install rsync

and just after I perform the previous command :

[root@MyBookWorld ~]# rsync --version
rsync  version 2.6.8  protocol version 29

It still the version 2.6.8 instead of 3.0.5

Where is the 3.0.5 version ?

Yes it works !

[root@MyBookWorld ~]# /opt/bin/rsync --version
rsync  version 3.0.5  protocol version 30

I am trying to follow this hack : http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/turning-it-into-a-rsync-server

the first step is to modify the /etc/services like this

rsync        873/tcp

and next /etc/inetd.conf like this

rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon

Because I have upgrade rsync, I guess I should replace this previous line by

rsync stream tcp nowait root /opt/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon

it is to say /opt/bin instead of /usr/bin

Do you confirm ?
Moreover I don't understand the "nb" at the end of the guide :

n.b. This only applies if you are connecting directly to rsyncd (i.e. via port 873). If you intend to rsync over ssh which I believe is the default for rsync, none of the above is required, if you have ssh access, you can rsync to it like below without any further modifications!

What is not "requiered" exactly ("none of the above is required") ?

It's not work !
I don't understand how to verify wich rsync server is used if I have launch rsync form a distant client.

As I said before I follow this guide : [http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/turning-it-into-a-rsync-server]
I modified /ect/services
and /etc/inetd.conf as I said in my previous message.

I restart /etc/init.d/inetd.sh with no error message

but when I launch rsync —version it still rsync 2.6.8 and not rsync 3.0.5.
What can I do to have rsync-3.0.5 as the default one ?

I have the same query!
How to set a optware program to be default over the system(busybox's) version?

Just add the full path to rsync (/opt/bin/rsync)
On my system the PATH is /opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin

my ~/.bashrc starts like this:

export PATH=\
/bin:\
/sbin:\
/usr/bin:\
/usr/sbin:\
/usr/bin/X11:\
/usr/local/bin

export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH
