Check the manual page for rsyncd.conf; you'll see that the default uid under which rsyncd runs for such modules is "nobody", which generally equates to 65534. Add a line "uid = 0" to enable the daemon to correctly set the owner and groups. Paul -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
