samba - Jan 2006 - Translate file permissions from rsync using ssh in cygwin

Helloo all,
	I thought I might have found an easy way to sync server shares and
permissions using rsync -avz --delete user@windowsserver.....  

But the uid and gid come up as numeric (in hindsight this should have been
obvious)  is there some other way of using an rsync to map permissions?  I
just read that in the bugs the perms are transferred in native numerical
mode.  I can do a find based on uid and gid, does anyone have some ideas for
chowning files by using the same algorithm used to create uid and gid in
winbind idmap_rid?  

what strategies has anyone else employed for syncing 2 servers across vast
geographical distances, in preparation for retiring the windows one?


        Regards Geoff Scott
