Problem preserving user/group names on AIX, rsync 2.6.2
I am having a bit of a problem with rsync 2.6.2 on AIX and I was wondering if this might just be the expected behavior. When using the -o and -g flags, the user and group names are NOT preserved on the receiving side, however, the UIDs/GIDs are preserved. I checked the OLDNEWS file and bugzilla, but could not find any reference to a problem like this. Vitals: -rsync 2.6.2 with security patch (pre 2.6.3) -Using rsync daemon, uid=root -Both sides are AIX 5.2 ML3/4 -- Aaron W Morris (decep) <aaronwmorris@gmail.com>
