updating server with rsync????

[Ron DuFresne]

The key here is that the user doing the rsync process has enough 
permissions to read all the files of the other users, and that -pog are 
included in the parms passed to rsync <which is the default if -a is 
used>.  Something like;

<as root perhaps or a user included in all the groups of all the other 
users and the dirs/files have proper group settings>

cd filesys-tosync

rsync -azvv . root at systemb:file-sys-mirror

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne
