Indeed, the test is invalid. The trouble is that the test suite starts an rsync daemon, instructs it to use uid and gid 0, and expects files created by the test suite to have the same user/group owners as those created by the daemon. This expectation is valid for non-root users (because the daemon fails to change its uid and gid) and for root with a default group of root but not for root with a default group of wheel, as you saw. The fix is to tell the rsync daemon to run as the same uid and gid as the user invoking the testsuite. Wayne, a patch for the test is attached. Matt
