rssh ignores some access bits

[<rss...@as...>]

Consider the following line in /etc/rssh.conf:

        user = test:002:11111:

If I read the documentation correctly, test should be able to rsync,
rdist, cvs, sftp and scp.   However only sftp and scp seem to be
honored:

    May 24 23:28:18 hostname rssh[17811]: setting log facility to LOG_USER
    May 24 23:28:18 hostname rssh[17811]: setting umask to 022
    May 24 23:28:18 hostname rssh[17811]: line 50: configuring user test
    May 24 23:28:18 hostname rssh[17811]: setting test's umask to 02
    May 24 23:28:18 hostname rssh[17811]: allowing scp to user test
    May 24 23:28:18 hostname rssh[17811]: allowing sftp to user test

If I comment OUT / remove the "user = test:002:11111:" line, and
comment IN / enable all 5 global allow* lines:

    allowscp
    allowsftp
    allowcvs
    allowrdist
    allowrsync

    ...

    #user = test:002:11111:

I get:

    May 25 00:00:36 hostname rssh[18139]: setting log facility to LOG_USER
    May 25 00:00:36 hostname rssh[18139]: allowing scp to all users
    May 25 00:00:36 hostname rssh[18139]: allowing sftp to all users
    May 25 00:00:36 hostname rssh[18139]: allowing cvs to all users
    May 25 00:00:36 hostname rssh[18139]: allowing rdist to all users
    May 25 00:00:36 hostname rssh[18139]: allowing rsync to all users
    May 25 00:00:36 hostname rssh[18139]: setting umask to 022

A test of rsync shows that it works when the global 'allowrsync' is set
and the user line is commented out.  However rsync fails with the '11111'
access bits for a particular user is used.

I am using the rssh v2.2.0 source tarball on RHEL3.
