/usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/
My question is what would happen if the users were not on the backup
They just get set to the UID/GID of the source server.
server?
Is there anyway to have the users automatically inserted into passwd and group?
I'd investigate NIS to fix this issue.
Thanks!

I've used rsync to backup lots of data from a web server at an ISP. I want to make it available read-only to certain staff via SMB, but ran into posix permissions problems. Is there a way to simultaneously mount a partition without ownership properties, EG: as if it were a FAT partition?
Also, if you mount the same filesystem twice, is there any problem with that?

What about monting it as read-all of all users?? You can specify a umask during mounting.

sure.. NOt an issue.
