This query still stands without any comment or reply: I get permission problems when I use LINUX clients to Ebox 1.0. WINDOWS clients work just fine with syncing "offlline folders". However we are trying to move away from Windows to Kubuntu, using 8.04 for now. I have then tried rsync, rdiff-backup and God knows all syncing/copying I can think of from the client side to the server user folder. Nothing works "fully" (meaning I get hickups at subfolders after maybe 1 or 2 levels) and if I look at permissions for the user's folder they always seem to full rights for the user but forbidden for the Group (if that helps).
I find it really frustrating as I do not want to create a tar file on the user's server folder but like to try and keep some sort of mirror that the user understands in case of problems. I support offices in 4 countries and due to bandwidth can not do it remotely so this is really an issue for me. Please if someone could assist.... Sinclair O.
