Post-Win2k3 Upgrade rsync+ssh Permissions Problem

[Ernest.Mueller at ni.com]

Thanks!  And I mistyped, it was a ugo+w, which of course makes me a tad
nervous.  I'll look through those docs and see what I can figure out, I do
have ntsec on (CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty to be exact).

Actually, did something that works.  Our rsync user (weblord) had been set
to the Administrator (500) uid.  That didn't work, nor did setting it to
the new sshd_server uid - but setting it to 544 (Administrators) did the
trick.  Good enough!  Havng a UID for a group makes this ol' UNIX boy's
head hurt.

Thanks,
Ernest

How Cygwin translates the Unix permissions set by the receiving rsync
into NTFS ACLs is beyond me, but this article attempts to describe it:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html

Anyway, if telling Cygwin to grant everyone read permission seems to be
enough to solve the problem, pass --chmod=ugo+r to rsync to have it
chmod files as they are transferred.  You need at least rsync 2.6.7 on
the sender for this to work.
