I can access the vista client by ssh. For that I use an account called "backup". I want use the ssh account for backup/restore with rsync. The Backup work well but the restore not :-( The files from a restore are owned by the ssh-account and not by the original user. I get an rsync error: rsync: chown "/Users/matthias/Desktop/.logfile.lnk.Ud0Zgp" (in C) failed: Permission denied (13) I would believe if I can solve the following construction my problem above will be solved too: If I login into this ssh backup AT vista I can create a file but I can not change the owner afterwards. $ echo "test" > /cygdrive/c/Users/matthias/Desktop/test.txt $ ls -alh /cygdrive/c/Users/matthias/Desktop/test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 Backup None 5 May 3 00:07 test.txt $ chown matthias /cygdrive/c/Users/matthias/Desktop/test.txt chown: changing ownership of `test.txt': Permission denied I've set the following rights for the user "backup" net localgroup "${admingroup}" backup /add editrights -a SeBackupPrivilege -u backup && editrights -a SeRestorePrivilege -u backup && editrights -a SeServiceLogonRight -u backup Thanks in advance Matthias -- Don't Panic -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
