Why not? I am confused.

If I do, as user1 knowing passwd user2 
Laptop1 
 rsync -auvz /home/oub/sourcedir user2 at localhost:/media/disk/targetdir

I have copied the content of sourcedir to target dir on USB,
and owner (UID+GID) is now user2

But if as user1 on Laptop1 I do

 rsync -auvz /home/oub/sourcedir /media/disk/targetdir

sudo chown -R  user2 /media/disk/targetdir
sudo chgrp -R  user2 /media/disk/targetdir

I obtain  the same result


Anyhow the problem is from Laptop2 to the USB, I would need
user2 passwd. I think it is best to have the same UID+GID on
both machines.

Because the connection is very unreliable, laptop 2 has a
dynamic IP, and I am paranoiac and don't want to have 

sshd: ALL

in hosts.allow on Laptop1
