Is it possible that rsync daemon is not applying the
incoming chmod = Dug=rwx,Do=rx,Fu=rwx,Fg=rw,Foparameter from rsyncd.conf
when a top level directory is created in
response to a client's --backup-dir parameter? This directory is not
technically "received" by the daemon, so maybe the permissions
don't get
changed from default. However, the
uid = whitlow
gid = everyone
parameters are applied. Permissions on lower level directories are set
as expected.
The daemon is version 2.6.9 and the client is version 2.6.6.
For example,
rsync -rt \
--delete-during --backup --backup-dir=2007-01-09_12 \
$SERVER::$REMOTE_MODULE/ALL;
results in:
drwx------ 3 whitlow everyone 4096 Jan 9 13:09 2007-01-09_12
drwxrwxr-x 4 whitlow everyone 4096 Dec 31 1969 ALL
if 2007-01-09_12 is created by the rsync daemon. The same permission on
directory 2007-01-09_12 results if root executes:
mkdir 2007-01-09_12
The modified date on directory All is also being changed to zero, but I
think that is a separate problem but mention here in case it is
significant.
