Summary: --fake-super should use default permissions for real
files
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: way...@samba.org
ReportedBy: m...@mattmccutchen.net
QAContact: rsync...@samba.org
Currently, --fake-super is documented as emulating root powers on the
filesystem, and accordingly, it gives the current user all permissions on the
real files (though see bug 7111). However, it emulates some attributes that
are not really privileged: POSIX ACLs and ownership by a group to which the
current user belongs. I would like it to use default permissions for the real
files, at which point it would become a full file-attribute emulation layer.
This would allow multiple users to share a fake-super tree by establishing
appropriate default permissions.
