As root, I am trying to mirror a Redhat 7.3 Linux user area onto another Redhat 7.3 Linux box using rsync. This is using the following type of command:
rsync -a -v --stats --safe-links However, rsync cannot mirror most of the user area because of the default permissions for the user areas. e.g., opendir(user1): Permission denied opendir(user2): Permission denied drwx------ 3 user1 users 4096 Apr 14 20:55 user1 drwx------ 3 user2 usera 4096 Apr 14 20:55 user2 Is there a way around this with rsync so that all user files get mirrored? (irrespective of their permissions)?. (root on both machine can happilly browse around) Lachlan. ----------------------- Lachlan M. D.
