Summary: Use lchmod and lutimes whenever possible Product: rsync Version: 3.0.0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently, on systems that support lchmod and lutimes, rsync uses them only when it needs to manipulate a symlink. I think it should use them everywhere in place of chmod and utimes to avoid surprises or vulnerabilities should a destination file of another type be suddenly replaced by a symlink. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
