I've had this problem for some time now, and just getting around to
doing something about it. I'll keep the description as brief as possible.
I'm rsyncing from a linux server to a Windows XP machine's firewire
drive via SSH\cygwin\rsync. The linux server pushs with the following
command.
/usr/local/bin/rsync -e ssh --recursive --verbose --delete --force
--update /mnt/hd/mail_store/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cygdrive/i/backups/webs_data/
192.168.66.99 == My Workstation. (Windows XP + Cygwin)
/cygdrive/i == 250GB firewire drive on my workstation. (NTFS)
jackcorn == a Local user on my workstation. (Didn't want to bother with
a domain account)
it appears that any file owned by root once on it's NTFS filesystem
after the backup can be opened successfully. However any file owned by
vpopmail:vchkpw cannot be opened.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167851 2005-10-04 15:33 byebye.sh
-rwx--x--x 1 vpopmail vchkpw 55996 2005-06-28 14:44 clearopensmtp*
(In this case I can open byebye.sh on the firewire drive after the
backup, but not the clearopensmtp)
The only way I can access those files are to "Replace permission entries
on all child....yatta yatta" under the Advanced Security Settings under
windows. However there are a couple hundred thousand files in there and
that can take some time.
I've tried with the -g -o -p options with rsync and I've also tried
using CYGWIN=nontsec or CYGWIN=ntsec under the windows Enviro Variables,
with no luck.
Is there anyway I can map the vpopmail user to a windows local user? Or
does anyone know what else to do?
