I noticed that /CentOS/5/os was giving me a 403 forbidden error, but /CentOS/5.0/os/ wasn't. I tracked the problem; the files in /5/ are symlinks to the files in /5.0/, but they were owned by uid 503 and the targets in /5.0/ were owned by uid 500. My server is set SymLinksIfOwnerMatch, and if possible, I'd like to keep it that way. Will I introduce any problems for my consumers by changing all file ownership to 500?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: WTH are you doing that your rsync'd files are showing up under different UIDs? You're running rsync as root? You really don't need to / shouldn't do that. All the mirrored files on my FTP mirror server are owned by the mirror user (uid/gid 501/501), as this is the user that does all the rsyncing.
*sheepish* I inherited the mirror server from someone who left a couple of years before I started. I just adapted his scripts. I'll uh....overhaul this asap.
