First time posting to this mail list. Be gentle :-) Project: Building new Linux Fedora server to replace the existing Solaris 10 x86 server. Rsync is being used to transfer files from the current server to the new server. The rsync daemon didn't want to start on the older server via inetd. Not a big deal, I just manually started it. The first directory being copied is /home. Root is running the rsync program on the new server. The rsync options are: -avzH For the most part, all of the directories are being copied, but there are files that it refuses to copy. For example: -rw------- 1 brown 146 Jul 31 20:58 .TTauthority Any file that is 600 it will leave behind and list it as permission denied. Root is doing the work on both ends, as I start the rsync daemon as root. Any hints as to how to get rsync to copy every file and directory? Thanks.

Search for "uid" in the rsyncd.conf manpage. Paul
