           Summary: Read-only files that have changed xattrs fail to allow
                    xattr changes
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.9
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: wayned at samba.org
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


When sending files with the --xattrs, if a file is read-only and has new
extended attributes, a non-root receiving user can fail to set the new
attributes.

One work-around for 3.0.0 is to use --fake-super on the receiving side (which
is only an acceptable option when doing backups using a non-root user).
