It looks like Waynes changes do what I wanted.
If I understand Wayne's changes in the dev version correctly, my

# uid = commented out
# gid = commented out
...
Also, it might be useful to note in the rsyncd.conf.5 that if you use
Wayne's supplementary group approach, it will require multiple rsync
connections.
So it will fail if your 'max connections' is set to a number less than
the number of simultaneous connections you'll be needing to satisfy

Hi Matt,
In your patch that you graciously provided me to provide supplementary
groups capability, you didn't say how it was supposed to be
specified. I thought it was working the first time I used it, but I
was mistaken. I forgot to add the supplementary groups option but
it's unclear how

Thanks for the reply and my apologies - I took the wrong line from the

Hi All,

could briefly point out where I've gone wrong, I'd appreciate it.
