I have the following configuration: Server side: rsync daemon running as suid root, use chroot set to false.
Client side: rsync client setuid root (so that it can write over other suid root owned files). When doing a :: based rsync to the server, I'd like to have the client be able to create/update files as the owner I pass on the command line. Since it has to be setuid root, and I don't use the -o option to preserve owner (my users aren't the same between client and server so I don't want it to map), it ends up creating the files as root. There doesn't appear to be a way for me to tell rsync to use a specific owner for creating/updating files. The --chmod option lets me override permissions, but nothing for owner. Perhaps a --setuid option? Any suggestions?
