All I get running with -vvvv is the gid...
That is because rsync doesn't believe that it is root. I think I should modify rsync so that it outputs the uid when it is the sender even when it is not root.
What your output doesn't show is what the receiver thinks the uid is (which will show if it believes it is root). This is because the receiver is a daemon, and it restricts how verbose it can get (since it logs its output into a log file it doesn't want users to be able to overflow the log files with large amounts of debugging info). There is an undocumented setting in the rsyncd.conf file called "max verbosity" that you can try setting to "9" and then re-run rsync. The daemon's log file should then contain what it knows about the file list. (Aside: the "max verbosity" setting is currently undocumented because it was supposed to be a very temporary debugging helper that was going to be superseded by a flexible logging configuration that J.W. was going to be working on, but no progress has been made in that area, alas).
With this setting, I get this, both in the dameon's log and on the client output:
...
uid 11385(testuser) maps to 11385
gid 10513(mkgroup_l_d) maps to 10513
[receiver] i=0 <NULL> <NULL> testdir mode=040777 len=0 uid=11385 gid=10513
[receiver] i=1 <NULL> testdir test.txt mode=0100777 len=4 uid=11385 gid=10513
...
set uid of testdir from 0 to 11385
set gid of testdir from 0 to 10513
...
set uid of testdir/.test.txt.IGJ6dO from 0 to 11385
set gid of testdir/.test.txt.IGJ6dO from 0 to 10513
renaming testdir/.test.txt.IGJ6dO to testdir/test.txt
...
Reminder :
On the client side, under cygwin :
ls -l => testdir owned by testuser:mkgroup_ ls -ln => testdir owned by 11385:10513
On the server side, under linux:
gentent passwd | grep testuser testuser:x:10000:10000:testuser:/home/DOMAIN/testuser:/bin/false
Does the client side send 11385 or "testuser"? Or both? Which one of the client/server does the mapping? And why does testuser end up on beeing mapped to 11385 on the server side?
