I think this would be a useful thing to support. I don't like the options tied in to source/dest, though as that makes it harder to reverse a copy. I think that adding a single option, --fake-super (since we already have --super) that does not get forwarded to the other side would be all we'd need. The user could then run this: rsync -av --rsync-path='rsync --fake-super' host:/src/ /dest/ rsync -av --rsync-path='rsync --fake-super' /src/ host:/dest/ to affect the remote side. Then, we'd just add a daemon config option that would allow the config file to choose if the daemon side should run in fake-super mode or not. So, feel free to write up something, and I'll make sure it gets put into the patches dir and is considered for a future release. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
