Wenn sich im rsnapshot-Log solche Meldungen finden:

[16/Jan/2008:21:15:35] Could not lchown() symlink "/opt/rsnapshot/daily.1/localhost/etc/rcS.d/S70screen-cleanup" [16/Jan/2008:21:15:35] Could not lchown() symlink "/opt/rsnapshot/daily.1/localhost/etc/rcS.d/S75sudo" [16/Jan/2008:21:15:36] Could not lchown() symlink "/opt/rsnapshot/daily.1/localhost/etc/dictionaries-common/default.aff" [16/Jan/2008:21:15:36] Could not lchown() symlink "/opt/rsnapshot/daily.1/localhost/etc/dictionaries-common/default.hash" [16/Jan/2008:21:15:36] Could not lchown() symlink "/opt/rsnapshot/daily.1/localhost/etc/dictionaries-common/words" [16/Jan/2008:21:15:36] Could not lchown() symlink "/opt/rsnapshot/daily.1/localhost/etc/apache/mime.types"

Dann hilft es ungemein wenn man das Lchown Modul nachinstalliert. Bei bereits konfigurierter CPAN-Shell reicht da schon ein:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install qw(Lchown)'

Dann klappt das auch mit den SymLink-Rechten und man erblickt ein strahlendes Ergebnis in den Logs.
