.bashrc is only executed for "interactive shells". When sshd on the destination machine launches bash to start rsync --server it does not start an interactive shell. There is a long explanation in the Bash manual which I will not repeat here of the various types of "interactive" and "login" shells, and which dot files they run. On some systems /etc/profile will invoke ~/.profile, so you may be able to put the command in their. A simple way to fix it would be to just change the permissions on the local file, making a copy if necessary, and then copy then with --perms. Unless the files are so large as to make this impractical that's probably the way I would do it. We've talked about a --chmod option to modify the permissions in flight, but nobody has written it yet. Hope that helps, -- Martin -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
