As a convenience and courtesy, rsync attempts to preserve names
across the transfer I don't know if my request is clear...sorry for my bad english...
I just need to preserve ID...I don't want rsync to convert id to name group because it takes the name group of the server instead of my local machine. I run rsync command in local machine in root, the deamon is run in root too, in rsyncd.conf in my module I set gid=root, uid=root...I have tried --numeric-ids parameter...and nothing... So if you know another tool which do that... 2007/5/31, Tony Abernethy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The uid and gid are numbers. These numbers **MIGHT** correspond to one or more names. As a convenience and courtesy, rsync attempts to preserve names across the transfer Who ever is running the rsync daemon must have the rights to make the changes or there is nothing possible for rsync to do. To preserve the groups, I think the owner can change groups to/from groups that the owner is in. You will want to test on you system exactly what is tolerated --- I'd expect that the owner needs to belong to both groups. If it were me, I'd use chroot and uid=root and gid=root --- but then I've found that OPEN-NESS seems to be the only effective and cost-effective security mechanism. (Even to ridiculous extents;) (Everything else seems like turning out the street lights so the bad guys can't see you) ------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *David (Spartoo) *Sent:* Thursday, May 31, 2007 9:08 AM *To:* rsync@lists.samba.org *Subject:* Re: Archive parameter doesn't preserve owner:group property! someone?? Does I have to set gid and uid to "root"? or can I preserve initial owner:group setting uid to "david" and gid to "rsync-users"? Can I give to rsync-users the right to preserve owner:group? How? Is there a conflict between --numeric-ids and others parameters? because rsync doesn't preserve even "in root" owner:group if gid is a number instead of string. I have post to many Linux forums...rsync mailing-list is my last chance.
