rsync - Aug 2009 - Fwd: Re: rsyncd.conf chroot yes problem with symlink-ing

Ok it's now Solved !

In spite of trying all day long to figure it out what's wrong in my sintax
i could find,  ...using a pencile and a pice of paper, combining all
commands parameters invoked so far and, came to the conclusion that -L does
not stand with -l , think that i couldn't find in any docs or faq so far.

Now, symlinks are being copied without a trouble.

Tnks Paul for helping.

I don't know what you're trying to do but the manual is clear:

   --copy-links
          Turn all symlinks into normal files (leaving no symlinks for any
          other options to affect).
