Issues with ownership and group

[Remington I, Scott (S.M.)]

Thank you, I'll follow up with your suggestions.  And, BTW, I LOVE the term *guruly*.  That's a new one for me :-}

The receiving side must be run as root in order to set the ownership.
The
way to deal with this is to run rsync in daemon mode on the receiving
side
with proper access controls configured, then, if you must have encrypted
transport, open up an SSH tunnel from your sender to the non-root user
on
your receiver, and have that tunnel forward locally to the rsync daemon.

At least, that's what I know at this point :) Perhaps someone more
guruly
will have a better technique :)
