Not specifically a mac question, but it's what I am using.
I am setting up some replication for some file shares using rsync. The problem is that I am being given a little bit of a twist - I'm supposed to use a non-admin account to do it with.
I have 2 boxes - Master and Slave with 1 account (sharesync). I setup a pub/private key pair and am able to successfully ssh from slave to master. I can also run rsync from the slave to the master. My problem is that rsync fails, complaining that it can't change ownership/permissions on the files that it just placed on the slave. This makes sense in that it requires admin rights to be able to chown files.
Is there a way to allow the non-admin sharesync account to rsync files? Or do I just tell the guy that we will do it the old fashioned way - using a root/admin account?
This works, by running it out of an admin account, but does not work with the sharesync key pair: This works with the ssh key pair, but fails when rsync tries to change ownership and set times:
