Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.6-1
Severity: minor
rsync copies permissions even when -p has not been specified, e.g.:
# touch a
# chmod 137 a
# umask 022
# ls -la
---x-wxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 1 00:59 a
# rsync -rt a b
# ls -l
---x-wxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 1 00:59 a
---x--xr-x 1 root root 0 Oct 1 00:59 b
b should have permissions 755, not 015, as -p was not specified.
