I had this problem with 2.3.2. After upgrading to 2.4.6 the problem went
away. Make sure you apply Wayne Davidsons no hang patches to 2.4.6 or you
may have other problems. You can find details of the patches in the archives
of this list.
Cheers

Subject: Preserving groups
I am new to rsync and am having trouble getting the presevation of groups
to work when I do an rsync copy between two computers. I have tried the
documentation, the list archives and FAQ and everything seems to indicate
that it should just work.
On compA I run the following as root
rsync -av /apps/ compB::apps
on compB I have an rsyncd.conf with the following and have run rsync
--daemon.
log file = /var/log/rsync.log
[apps]
path = /apps
comment = apps
read only = false
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16
uid = root
gid = root
All the copied files get the gid root instead of the gid from the source.
I have tried it without the gid=root and then I get a gid of nogroup on all
files copied to the destination computer.
I have also tried various combinations of options including --numeric-ids
-o -g etc. The logs don't seem to indicate any problems.
Although these two computers are on the same LAN and scp would therefore
probably be more efficient I am keen to use rsync so I can get this working
across our WAN which of course only has low bandwidth.
Could anyone either suggest a solution or point me to some doco which
covers this.
Thank you
Steven
