Hi. As the man page explains, and this message
http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg04069.html summarizes from the different man pages rsync will not use the password file if it is world readable. Now, if the rsync team was so kind to add the "strict mode" option for the cygwin platform to ignore if the file is world readable when running in daemon mode why isn't there an option (or am i missing something) to add the same functionality (to ignore file permissions) when rsync is ran with the --password-file mode ? Cygwin will always report eh the file was 644 mode, even if the permissions are right ... Thank you. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
