File/Folder Ownership - Cygwin/Rsync - Is it possible to get around rsync taking file ownership?

[jhurd8025]

Thanks Matt,

I'm beginning to believe this isn't possible. I've tried both nontsec and
ntsec with no luck, and I've tried with and without -o -p -g. Still takes
ownership from administrators and gives it to the rsync user.

The only way around this would be to use the rsyncd which runs as root, and
is not possible (security wise) in our enviroment.

I've also tried setting the rsync user to the administrators group with no
luck.
