I am attempting to rsync data from a rsync server and set the permissions to a different gid on the client:
my servers name is "rserver01" my clients name is "rclient01" here is the rysync.conf contained on rserver01: # log file log file = /var/adm/rsync_log # global options for all modules dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.iso *.bz2 *.tbz uid = nobody gid = nobody transfer logging=true list=true [test] path=/var/tmp/rsync_test comment = rsync_test read only = true hosts allow=rclient gid = cdburners on the server, ls -al of the source directory indicates that group ownership is "visitor": rserver01>ls -al total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 rwalkup visitor 512 Oct 17 13:43 . drwxrwxrwt 6 sys sys 1536 Oct 17 13:31 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 rwalkup visitor 79 Mar 13 2001 hosts drwxr-xr-x 3 rwalkup visitor 512 Mar 13 2001 inet -rw-r--r-- 1 rwalkup visitor 330 Mar 21 2001 vfstab I then execute the following syntax from the client: rclien01> rsync -avz rserver01::test /var/tmp/rsync_test after the copy has completed, I then execute: rclient01> ls -al /var/tmp/rsync_test total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 rwalkup visitor 512 Oct 17 13:49 . drwxrwxrwt 6 sys sys 1536 Oct 17 13:49 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 rwalkup visitor 79 Mar 13 2001 hosts drwxr-xr-x 3 rwalkup visitor 512 Mar 13 2001 inet -rw-r--r-- 1 rwalkup visitor 330 Mar 21 2001 vfstab Is it not possible that the group ownerhip be changed to cdburners as the rsyncd.conf file indicates? cdburners exist on both client and server. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
