Description Daniel Carnes 2005-06-13 13:36:31 UTC 
Source: 
relative.test -> ../../../tmp/dantest
symlink2.test -> /tmp/dantest

Destination:
relative.test -> tmp/dantest
symlink2.test -> tmp/dantest
RSYNC CODE:
rsync -vlrz -e ssh --rsync-path="$RPATH rsyncd --daemon --config=$CONFIGFILE" 
$SOURCE $LOGNAME@$REMOTESERVER::$MODULE
MODULE
Can someone explain why this occurs, and if there is something that I can do to 
fix this?
Comment 1 Wayne Davison 2005-06-13 15:04:21 UTC 
This is what daemon mode does to prevent links from going outside the root of
the module's path when chroot isn't enabled.  If you want symlinks to be
preserved exactly as specified on the sending side, turn chroot on in the
daemon's config.
