Package: rsync Version: 2.6.9-2 Severity: wishlist May users send their backups to my central rsync server and I'm using the 'incoming chmod' option to correct permissions which are too restrictive. This way, I can have a non-privileged user maintaining the backups by using the rsyncd.conf 'uid' option.
However, sometimes directories get rsynced to my server without having the 'executable by user'-bit set, rendering the contents of the directory unusable for my non-privileged user. Of course I can set the incoming chmod to 'u+rwx', but this also applies for all incoming files and thus will make all files executable which is not what I want. I think it's a good idea to split up the 'incoming chmod' option: 'incoming files chmod' and 'incoming dirs chmod'. This way, its possible to configure: incoming files chmod = u+rw incoming dirs chmod = u+rwx which is exactly what I want for every incoming file and directory. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.23-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii lsb-base 3.1-10 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
