           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org

Hi.  Thanks for a great program!  Could you please add a switch to preserve
user and group ownership on the receiver?  I only want the content copied
across (and not in-place either, the file is in use).

Best,
Aleksey

Specify --owner (and possibly --group, or just use --archive).  Just make sure
the receiver is authorized to set ownership (you can use --super to force it to
try).

I think the request is for recreated destination files to keep the same
ownership they had, rather than taking the default ownership of the receiver,
when --owner and --group are off.  (Of course, this will only work for the
receiving rsync's groups when --super mode is off.)

I'm merging this with bug 3829, which described the analogous issue with
ACLs
and xattrs.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 3829 ***
