If it's mostly doing the same thing, we should decite for one method and
drop the other. 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page, I'm sure it's getting outdated soon again - and then on two or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.

Marc

Go point Marc. 

I know Osync works fine and when I get my second DC going I intend to
use the Osync. I am using it elsewhere to retain ACL attributes and
backup vital directories. It works and saves ACL when option is enabled.


I have always read that UNISON does NOT support or maintain ACL
attributes. 

But, I am very much a newbie when I get this "deep". 

IMHO.

Hi,

I use Unison everyday to keep my file servers synchronized, but I do have
to rely on POSIX permissions because at the moment, Unison does not support
ACL attributes.  I'm on the Unison users mailing list too, so I'll make
an
inquiry about the future of Windows ACLs and report back with the answer
from the Unison devs.
