Package: unison Version: 2.27.57-1+b1 Severity: normal I am trying to sync over ssh as an ordinary user. The folders contain files with different owners, however I am always a member of the group that has rw access to the files.
Since I want to sync owner/group/permission I have set owner = yes and group = yes in the profile. I have carefully created user and group accounts on both machines, with identical numeric ids. Still I have set numericids = false, in case of future mistakes. Now when the ownership of a file is changed on one side, unison tries to chown the file on the other side - as intended. However, since I am not the su the chown command fails. I believe this is not the intended behavior when syncing file ownership. Note: I have tried running sudo unison, but this fails because root does not have a certificate required to connect to the remote ssh. Proposed behavior: make unison perform a sudo chown and request a passwd from the user when needed.
