Hi, I have a central backup machine with a rsync daemon running with under the user/group of root/wheel. I then have a number of other FreeBSD machines pushing files to it for backup which is working On the client machines, I use: rsync -CavzHpog /etc/namedb/ backup@backups.domainname.com:/archive/namedb All the files on the remote machine have the correct permissions but are all owned by the 'backup' user. I used to use rdist6 which would turn the UID and GID into numbers where the users didn't exist on the local machine and it would all preserce nicely. My /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.conf is below and rsync is started by root with "/usr/local/bin/rsync --daemon" I'd appreciate any help! Thanks, Andrew. -------------- # rsyncd conf # User & Group for rsync to run as uid = root gid = wheel # Use chroot with rsync use chroot = yes max connections = 20 auth users = backup secrets file = /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.secrets # log and pid file options pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid log file = /var/log/rsync.log syslog facility = local5 hosts allow = <my hostnames> hosts deny = * [dns] path = /archive/namedb/ comment = Primary Name Server Backup secrets file = /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.secrets strict modes = true read only = false _________________________________________________________________ Protect your inbox from harmful viruses with new ninemsn Premium.
