On the "Bidirectional Rsync/Unison based SysVol replication workaround" page. The title (as you can see) includes the word UNISON when in fact the "Unison" program is NOT being used for this replication anymore. As the instructions there actually use "Osync" then the word "UNISON" should probably need to be replaced with "OSYNC". (I looked rather quickly but, I do not see any Unison references in the instructions anywhere.) The Unison linux "syncing" program does NOT support Windows based ACL's and therefore will not replicate the correct file acl attributes between DC's. The "Unison" people have given little indication that they (the program) intend to support ACL attributes in the future. For now, we need to stick with Osync. (Which works very well.) Only a suggestion of improvement. Thank you. -- _______________________________ Bob Wooden

I will now edit the osync page to correct a few things that need changing (broken link, conf variable name changes etc). I will also discuss the unison page with Louis Van Belle, I believe he is still using this method and may have some input on what, if anything, that needs changing. Rowland

If someone comes up in the future with a third sync tool, we have the same content with minor changes for a third tool. Duplicate content = duplicate work. And in case of such a low frequent page, I'm sure it's getting outdated soon again - and then on two or more places. Regards, Marc

Most places say "no" they do not support ACL permissions. And yet I know Louis has been using Unison for his sysvol replication. -- _______________________________ Bob Wooden of Donelson Trophy 615.885.2846 www.donelsontrophy.com [1] "Everyone deserves an award!!"
