Tim, I had already tried that with no joy, e.g.: rsync --delete-excluded --delete -essh -avzog --numeric-ids /home/admin/ test@localhost:/home/backup Same results, all files are owned by root as rsync is SUID root in the chroot enviroment. There is an /etc/passwd in there, but only with root and the test user's entries. Oh, and I'm using linux 2.4.18 kernel, chroot 2.0.11, rsync 2.5.6CVS (from debian sid packages) Regards, Tom Worley Worley Web Solutions http://www.worleyweb.net http://www.totalannihilation2.com http://www.uk2raq.com http://projectmist.org -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
