For any process to be able to affect a file's ownership, it must be running as root. The default daemon config runs each transfer process as user nobody. To change this, specify uid/gid in your rsyncd.conf: uid = 0 gid = 0 > However, if I ever attempt to add a flag to preserve permissions, like: > rsync -a test_file test_box::test_module > these are the errors: That's very strange (and, as an aside, the "test_module" doesn't match your cited config file, which had a single "test" module). You can at least rule out that this was already fixed by trying 2.6.9 and seeing if the errors persist. ..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
