Re: Rsync Users and Groups

I think you are thinking too much of rsync here.  Rsync groups are the 
same as users they just have an @ in front of the name.  If you want 
UNIX style users and groups then use rsync over ssh and get the bonus of 
ssh's authentication as well as not needing an rsyncd.conf file at all.
