Took a while to figure this one out: Since "use chroot" defaults to true, I was having issues of UID/GID's not mapping between servers. On AIX, if chroot() is called, the getpwuid() calls fail, no longer being able to find /etc/passwd. Since the that call doesn't differentiate between a 'failure' and a 'unable to map uid', rsync assumes it can't map the UID and the server side doesn't send the maps.
Setting "use chroot" to false is a workaround. Not sure if there is an easy way to fix this, or its just a caveat that might want to be stated in the documentation. Also, I would be happy to provide builds of rsync for AIX4.1.5 and 4.3.3. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
