The Scenario Every week, Alice sends Bob some files using rsync into a shared directory on Bob's computer. Bob has setup the necessary modules in his rsyncd.conf file to look something like this [artists] uid = bob gid = music path = /home/bob/music/artists use chroot = true list = false read only = false secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets auth users = bob,alice Both Bob and Alice are members of the group music on Bob's machine, where Alice is also a user. From time to time, Alice would like to ssh into Bob's machine in order to do some housekeeping, necessary to keep both ends in sync. The Problem Any files that are transferred from Alice to Bob end up being owned by bob:music (not a problem) but with the following permissions -rw-r--r-- which means that Alice can't rename them, etc. I had expected that they would be readable and writable by all members of the music group. Is there an option that Bob needs to add to his rsyncd.conf modules to get this to happen, or are we missing something somewhere else?
