...to be in /c/home/wer/work/some/path/projects/c_a He needs this stuff immediately, meaning, Wer cannot wait to rebuild everything from /e/gold. However, gold/some/path/projects/c_a is merely 5 Megs -- but it is not the latest version. Wer starts by creating the directory /f/new_home/wer/work, and then uses -R as follows: rsync -aR /e/gold/./some/path/projects/c_a /f/new_home/wer/work which gives him an old version of c_a inside /f/new_home/wer/work/some/path/projects Question: How can Wer use the batch file /e/cmds/foo to recover c_a in a...

Net result: attempting to do a chroot after the call to setpcred fails. I tried moving the setpcred after the chroot code but ran into other problems which I am not prepared to attempt to address. Thi...
