Forgive me if the answer is obvious but I've googled and searched the archives but I can't seem to find a good solution.
Scenario on a Solaris system:
ls -ld /foo
drwxrwxrwx 2 user1 other 512 Oct 30 16:05 /foo
ls -l /foo/*
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 other 10 Oct 30 16:05 /foo/file_a
-rw-r--r-- 1 user2 staff 30 Oct 30 16:05 /foo/file_b
(Yes I know wide open directories are evil, but the application folks do strange things.)
If I use rsync as user1 all the files on the destination server are owned by user1. I.E.
ls -l /foo/*
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 other 10 Oct 30 16:05 /foo/file_a
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 other 30 Oct 30 16:05 /foo/file_b
I'm trying to avoid using rsynd as we're paranoid about security. (We change root password on a regular basis. The solutions indicate that I may have to change the secrets file each time.)
Any suggestions on preserving the file ownership in this case?
