Summary: rsyncd ownership handling
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core
AssignedTo: way...@samba.org
ReportedBy: andras.porj...@ericsson.com
QAContact: rsync...@samba.org
I have an rsync client running with the following flags:
RSYNC_FLAGS="--recursive" # this tells rsync to copy
directories recursively
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --links" # recreate symlinks
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --perms" # set the destination
permissions
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --times" # transfer modification
times along with the files
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --omit-dir-times" # omit directories when it
is preserving modification times
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --owner" # set the owner of the
destination file to be the same as the source
# group is set to ossdes on the server side, so
there is no option for that here
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --chmod=Dg+rw,Fg+r" # set permissions
# RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS -D" # option is equivalent to
--devices --specials - we do not need it
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --compress" # compress file data during
the transfer
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --relative" # use relative paths
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --numeric-ids" # transfer numeric group and
user IDs
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --delete" # delete extraneous files
from the receiving side
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --stats" # print a verbose set of
statistics on the file transfer
RSYNC_FLAGS="$RSYNC_FLAGS --human-readable -h" # output numbers in a
human-readable format
I have an rsyncd (root:root) with the following setup:
comment = data area for rsync
path = something
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
uid=root
gid=mygid
read only=false
write only=false
use chroot=true
rsync works as expected (at least does what I expect). when I comment out
uid=root in rsyncd.conf the owner will not be transferred any more, it will
remain nobody.
The precedence of --perms on the client side (including -o, -g) and the uid=
guid= settings on the server side are unclear, not documented and as I wrote
here depending on the settings rsync may even change its behavior.
