All of the access information is stored in separate ACLs, which rsync does not copy. Thus, it sets the permissions on the remote copy to 0, and, obviously, is unable to write to that directory afterwards. You can run "chmod -R 775" on that directory, which should, if my WAG above is correct, fix your rsync problem. Igor P.S. Before you ask, I'm not awa

There's a fairly open-ended and underspecified list of things you'd have to fix up manually if you try to copy the whole install across. Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

And if they aren't, run "mount -m > cmds.txt" on one machine, then copy it to the other and run "sh < cmds.txt". The other thing that would need redoing is reconfiguring any installed services, preferably by running the proper *-host-config.sh scripts.

I use a `lite' Cygwin installation on our customer's machines, mostly to make my job easier, but occasionally to script something for a customer. The customer's machines are usually very close to identical from one installation to another, which helps a lot. The only issue I've had is that our latest machines are based on WinXP Embedded, which is on a read-only flash card, so that registry modifications are not persistent across reboots. I haven't put my 'lite' Cygwin installation on any such machine yet, nor have I played around with one yet, but I suppose I'll have to run the mount script from any scripts I may write on such machines (shouldn't present a problem). -- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
