Bug ID: 11013
Summary: [patch] Mention that privileges are dropped, when "use
chroot" is enabled in rsyncd.conf manpage

Proposed patch for rsyncd.conf.yo
The manpage of rsyncd.conf says when "use chroot" is enabled this is "as though
--numeric-ids had been specified".
When rsyncing a file from host A to host B using:
rsync -av sometestfile rsync://some_test_user@hostB/backup/
the uid and the gid of the source file on host A are not set accordingly on
host B. Even not if --numeric-ids is specified explicitly, on both server and
client side.
Relevant part of the server config:
use chroot = yes
[backup]
list = yes
path = /zdata/backup/
comment = Some comment
read only = no
auth users = some_test_user
secrets file = /usr/local/etc/rsync/rsyncd.secrets
numeric ids = yes
I fixed that by adding "uid = root" to rsyncd.conf.
The manpage does not mention that behavior at all.
