Hi,

I'm using Debian in one box and Slackware in another. Both are desktops.

In both I have one account and I'd need to rsync the contents of one
directory in one to the other.

The problem is my uid and gid are different between the two
distributions, so I have to su and then chown the files everytime I rsync.

What do you recommend: change uid for one account? anything else?

rsync filename other_user@other_host:
rsync other_user@other_host:filename .

or create ~/.ssh/config containing
Host other_host
User other_user

Don't know about rsync but maybe unison could be a viable
replacement.

I forgot to mention that I use a flash memory usb pen as a 'middle-man'.

debian -- rsync to --> pen -- (then, at other place) --> rsync to
slackware. And vice-versa.

The name of the user is the same, but the uid not, nor is the gid.

Make sure the files and directories on the usb pen have read permission
for all users.
chmod -R a+r /usb_mount_point

You could use tar instead of rsync; that way only the tar file has to
be world-readable. When you extract a tar file as a non-root user, all the
files will be owned by that user. If you are root on either machine, you
could create a user with the same UID as your user on the other machine.
