I'm haing some trouble getting my rsyncing to work in FreeBSD. I'll go over my setup. I have a dedicated server that manages all rsync backups. I have a NAS device with an NFS share on it that mounts to /backup on the server above. I have 3 FreeBSD machines including the dedicated rsync managing server that all have specific folders that need to be backed up nightly. The problem I am having is that when I run the rsync command "rsync -av host.domain.com::module/ /backup/folder/needed" some of the files are copied and some give a permissions error like this one: rsync: send_files failed to open "/bin/vuserinfo" (in vpopmail): Permission denied (13) I'm running rsync as root so I'm not too sure what the problem is. I know you can't SSH to a FreeBSD machine as root. But using another user I don't have access to those folder either. Anyway ideas would be greatly appreciated. Jason King

Feel free to set whatever uid and gid you need, either in each module or globally in the rsyncd.conf file. ..wayne..
