Very unlikely. Your concept of user/group is wrong. [snip] > Does Cygwin's rsync send the user and group names to the Linux rsync at > all? No, rsync used uid / gid, the numeric user/group id, not the names, and unless you did something to synchronize them they are different. Type `id` on a Cygwin terminal, those numbers is what rsync (and tar, scp, etc.) record, the username could be anything and it's not used. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
