rsyncd.conf and port changes

I have followed this guide and have rsync daemon running. I am able to send files to my unraid server without any issues.

I am trying to get it working with the archive function of the chia plotting script plotman. The script uses rsync and is hard coded to port 12000.

This is the problem. If I add "port = 12000" to my rsyncd.conf file and take the appropriate steps to load the new settings, it still only runs on 873.

root@Vault:/boot/custom/etc/rc.d# rsync rsync://Vault
rsync: [Receiver] failed to connect to Vault (127.0.0.1): Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(137) [Receiver=3.2.3]
root@Vault:/boot/custom/etc/rc.d# bash /boot/custom/etc/rc.d/S20-init.rsyncd
root@Vault:/boot/custom/etc/rc.d# rsync rsync://Vault:12000
rsync: [Receiver] failed to connect to Vault (127.0.0.1): Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(137) [Receiver=3.2.3]
root@Vault:/boot/custom/etc/rc.d# rsync rsync://Vault:873
chia               Chia

For reference, I am on 6.9.2. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

After days of trying to figure this out, I solved it within minutes of posting here.

There are 2 lines that need to be removed or commented out and 2 lines added to /etc/services.

#rsync          873/tcp
#rsync          873/udp
rsync           12000/tcp
rsync           12000/udp

Next step is to figure out how to add that to the S20-init.rsyncd script so I don't have to manually do it each reboot. Will update when I figure that out or if someone with better linux scripting knowledge could help, that would be amazing.
