--- Comment #6 from Kevin Korb <rs...@sanitarium.net> --- There was a change made in 3.1.0... - Added a way for more than one group to be specified in the daemon's config file, including a way to specify that you want all of the specified user's groups without having to name them. Also changed the daemon to complain about an inability to set explicitly-specified uid/gid values, even when not run by a super-user. So, even if a user is in more than one group once you set the gid option the listed groups are all that user gets to be in now. I am not sure if the lack of permission setting is a bug or an rsyncd feature and I don't know if it is still the case in the current version. I don't really feel like setting up a test case to find out. IMO if you are running rsyncd without read only = yes and/or withe authentication you are mis-using rsyncd. If you want these things use rsync over ssh where you have decent authentication+security. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
