I'm in process of putting together a public mirror and noticed the ownership on my files seem to keep swapping between uid/gid 502, 503 and I think I've seen 500 as well. The mirror howto suggests using rsync with -aqzH, which of course is going to retain the permissions of the synced files. Do others just put up with the ownership changes or are they splitting up the -a option into only some of its parts?
On mirror.chpc.utah.edu, I don't have the ownership bouncing, because I don't run the rsync as root.
I run the rsync as the user "mirror". All the files are owned by "mirror". I then have httpd run as user httpd and rsyncd as user rsync.
