Hi there, rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26.
I seem to be having some trouble using rsync to ignore permissions on a remote host when syncing back to a local host. I want it to listen to the umask of the user running the rsync locally. Eg: [remote host - I've touched a file made it 4750, etc, etc] hostb $ mkdir -p /data/rsync/temp hostb $ touch /data/rsync/temp/foo hostb $ chgrp blah /data/rsync/temp/foo hostb $ chmod 4750 /data/rsync/temp/foo hostb $ ls -lR /data/rsync/temp /data/rsync/temp: total 0 -rwsr-x--- 1 rsync blah 0 Mar 12 13:14 foo [hosta, I run an rsync and get the following result] hosta $ ls -lR /data/rsync/temp /data/rsync/temp: No such file or directory hosta $ rsync -e ssh --rsync-path=/opt/local/bin/rsync -rtl hostb:/data/rsync/temp /data/rsync/ hosta $ ls -lR /data/rsync/temp /data/rsync/temp: total 0 -rwsr-x--- 1 rsync rsync 0 Mar 12 13:14 foo The group is lost, however the permissions are preserved. How can I prevent this happening? Thanks in advance! regards, David. -- David Leach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Professional Services [phone:61-4-1333-5528] SecureNet Ltd [http://www.securenet.com.au] -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
