I apologize if this counts as thread hijack, but I have a couple of
questions about Unison.

I use rsync to synchronize 4 locations, but I fillow the master/slave
route, i.e directories are synchronized only one way, each server
holding the master copy of it's data and read-only copies of the other
server's data.  I would have preferred to use unison for proper
synchronization but i need to copy ACLs as well and as I understand this
is not possible.  Am I wrong about this?
    

There are options for transferring ownership and perms (-owner and
-perms), although I admit I haven't tried them. If they don't work
right, but you know how things are supposed to look, you can always
run chmod & chown afterward.

chown / chgrp /chmod are not a practical option for several reasons, one being that this script would not be maintenance free as the directories I am synchronizing haven't got uniform permissions/ownership.  I also use some (very limited) extended ACLs.

I am in the process of upgrading to Centos from FC3, and I will have a look again at unison as well as csync.
