Older devices had issues with one or the other of DVD-R or DVD+R (most read
DVD+R better), newer devices are fine with any of them.
Lower quality DVD-RW/DVD+RW may not play well with lower quality players,
choose quality media and you should be fine, however.
ALL brands have both high quality
I haven't seen this before, but I am wondering if it possible to put blank
lines and comments in the /etc/passd and group files?
I have one person saying you absolutely can't and another saying that you
can.
Which one is right?

What is the procedure and syntax to 'rsync' all of a specific set of
directories and files from one computer to another that are on the same
network?
I have been burning DVDs on one computer and copying those files onto my
other computer(s), but when I download all those files, the permissions
Here is a fairly good example that syncs everything in the /newdrive
directory from one computer to an other preserving permissions and ownership
and deleting files on the target that don't exist anymore on the source.
It excludes anything that looks like 'Norton Ghost Backup' and the
lost+found

Instead of writing all of the files to the disk make a tar ball and write
that to the disk.
tar zcpvf tarball.tar.gz /sourcedir

I think the objective here is to copy the files directly from one drive
to the other. No intermediate files or tarball required. ;)
You could use tar on both sides w/out ever having the tarball directly
on a disk by piping it through ssh. I think rsync's the best solution
though, given that he
As far as I know you cannot preserve write permissions writing to a DVD
unless you pack those permissions within an archive format that can store
them. It's not a writable media.
Unless you're transferring terabytes of changes rsync works well across the
internet to keep files in sync. Get them

Write, I mean correct. :)
So why use a DVD at all? Seems like a waste to me.
Unless you're
We violently agree :)
That was my point originally (grin).

If you have a lab computer you could experiment.
Save passd to passd.bak or whatever.
Alter the file to include comments.
Test by trying to log into another account on another virtual terminal
or x session.
If you fail you still have a good session to swap the files back.

They're both right.
Question is, are you
You can use scp, tar or rsync.
Rsync is a low level copy process that actually takes a great load on
the system. Developers often learn it and don't realize that scp will
work just as well, and maintain all the permissions and ownership.
You can also use NFS to mount a shared directory and have

I don't think anyone has mentioned yet that rsync is handy if you need to
transfer securely over an insecure channel. I think I recall you saying its
intranet, so this may not apply...

Very true.
In the example I pasted out of one of my rsync scripts it uses ssh to do the
transfer.
I don't think I've had a machine with rsh (not secure) enabled for about 10
years :)
sync -avz --delete --rsh=ssh --stats --progress --bwlimit=500
--exclude='*Norton\ Ghost\ Backup*'
