1. The receiving rsync isn't linked with the right library for getpwent() to find the name on that Linux system.
This could indeed be the case, but I don't know how to check/solve this. I'm using nsswitch with winbind...
/etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: compat winbind group: compat winbind
... but running the rsync configure script gives me!
checking compat.h usability... no checking compat.h presence... no checking for compat.h... no
How can I check whether rsync uses /etc/nsswitch.conf or not?
2. The name isn't really "testuser" -- e.g. it has a space or other weird character in the name. You can check this one by capturing the output from those fprintf() lines you added and using "od" to dump the strings to see what the real character-by-character value the name has.
Yes, it is. I have tried with some strange names too, and got some "Lookup of `????????' failed "
