The SRC is via a default network share: //netbios.name/C$ The DST is a local directory. So there is only onw instance of rsync running (no "sending" end). The Owners/Groups on the SRC side are: Group: COMPUTER\Administrators User: DOMAIN\SpecificUser Group: SYSTEM The Owners/Groups on the DST side end up as: User: DOMAIN\Administrator Group: DOMAIN\Domain Users Group: Everyone Prior to using an ACL enabled rsync (and rsync without -A) they were: User: DOMAIN\Administrator Group: CREATOR GROUP Group: CREATOR OWNER Group: DOMAIN\Domain Users Group: Everyone I have read http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html (many times) and /etc/passwd and /etc/group look OK, they seem to have all the SIDs in them, including one for SpecificUser. I also just tried "rsync -avPA --super ..." with no luck. Could the problem be related to rsync only running on a single machine with no "remote" side? -- - havoc -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
