Version 3.x does. The version Apple included with Mac OS X 10.6 is version 2.6.9, though. So you'll need to update it first. If I cared about ACLs, I would download the latest version (3.0.7) and compile it. Here's a somewhat stale article showing how to do it: <http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html> -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.

Really? My rsync man page says: -E, --extended-attributes Apple specific option to copy extended attributes, resource forks, and ACLs. Requires at least Mac OS X 10.4 or suitably patched rsync. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

The open source rsync project page at http://www.samba.org/rsync/ says they didn't add ACL support and extended attribute support until version 3.0.0. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
