Hi list! I'm in the process of creating an automated update system based on SVN and rsync. I 'svn update' every night and then rsync the updated files from the working copy of SVN to the right folders. The problem I have is that when I rsync the files, the destination owner/group is set with the owner/group from the source file (the file from the SVN with a wrong owner/group). I don't want to modify the destination file owner/group but only update it's content. I'm not using any option with the rsync command. I also observed that the permissions are not changed in the transfer, which is a normal behaviour and perfect in my situation. Example: ll /usr/local/etc/scripts/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 psm psm 2754 Mar 17 10:51 wakeup.sh And the details of the source file: ll /root/update/scripts/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2754 Mar 13 11:37 wakeup.sh Execution of the rsync command: rsync /root/update/scripts/wakeup.sh /usr/local/etc/scripts/ ll /usr/local/etc/scripts/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 2754 Mar 17 10:59 wakeup.sh I also tried to explicitly disable preserve group with --no-g but got the same result. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot for your help! Martin
