There is a diff in the patches directory that allows you to do this. If you apply patches/usermap.diff, you can use a command like this: rsync -av --usermap=*:someuser --groupmap=*:somegroup /src/ /dest/ That's not nearly as succinct (due to these options having a lot more flexibility in affecting the users and groups than a single forced setting), so perhaps a built-in option alias would be a good idea for the simple case (one that would map --chown=someuser:somegroup to be the same as the above two options). This is one of the patches that I'm leaning towards adding to 3.1.0. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
