The "usage" display for the supplied rsync verifies it. I wasn't disagreeing with what Calum said. I was simply noting that the SAMBA org rsync project didn't add support for ACLs until 3.0. This indicates, as mentioned by the rsync man page snippet provided by Calum above, that Apple added a patch for ACLs to the Mac OS X rsync. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Probably Apple donated their changes, and they were incorporated into the public version 3.0. -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***
