Hi,

I have two servers, both running CentOS, but one running Cpanel as the control panel and the other running Webmin.

I would like to sync the web folders using rsync. However, when I sync the files from the Cpanel host the permissions look as follows:

but that doesn't work on the Webmin server which needs the following:

It seems the Cpanel install has the group as 'nobody' whilst webmin has it the same as the file owner. I can fix this by running:

but as the file transfers will be frequent, I don't want the files to be inaccessible until chown is run.

So, what I really want to know is - how can I change things on the 'webmin' server so that files with ownership owner:nobody will run?

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm not sure if it's possible with rsync but I use Unison to synchronize files between servers and in my personal opinion it's a lot easier to use and has a lot more options. In my opinion worth to take a look at it.

Kind regards,

Eric
