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.
