Quoting Rich Shepard <[email protected]>:
I need to rsync the contents of /var/spool/postfix/rshepard from the defunct
desktop's backup drive to the new desktop. I understand that rsync uses ssh
and root is blocked from using ssh. As a user I cannot write to
/var/spool/postfix/. What is the approach that will allow me to transfer
these (and similar system) files from the backup drive to the new desktop?
TIA,
Rich

Rich,
Can you change the permissions on /var/spool/postfix/rshepard on the
dying drive to something non root and rsync that directory?
I'm thinking: chown -rv rshepard.rshepard /var/spool/postfix/rshepard
followed by rsyncing as rshepard the files to the new server.
You will then need to change the ownership of the files to the
appropriate owner.
Isn't postfix the proper owner???
