rsync - Dec 2004 - rsync: chgrp ... Operation not permitted

Hi all,

I've installed rsync to synchronize my linux box and my PowerBook.

I have a server whose conf file looks like

[letters]
use chroot = yes
uid = www
gid = lha.utils
path = /var/hdb/letters
read only = no
list = yes
auth users = pascal,lha
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secret

but when the client tries to write I have:

rsync: chgrp "/file/path/here" failed: Operation not permitted (a
number)

error messages.

I would like to have the distant machine write on the server as the user www 
and group lha.utils, doesn't "use chroot" say that?

Any help welcome...

Pascal

There was a bug in older rsyncs where it would try to set groups that it
was not authorized to set.  Either upgrade, or avoid using (or implying)
the -g option.
