After upgrading to rsync 3.2.7, the following command hangs forever
(using "--usermap" causes the hang; without "--usermap" it doesn't
hang):
rsync -v -p -e --usermap user:user /etc/services user at remote:
It did not hang with rsync 3.2.3.
Not sure if it's intended behaviour? The fine manual says that --usermap
should be used as a super-user on the receiver, but does not mention
that it will hang if used as a non-super-user.
Reproducible on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
