It seems, at least in Debian Etch, rsync is patched to support ACLs by
using the -A option. It sounds like that may mean it can backup all
kinds of EA attributes[1]. Since I am using EAs for simulating
attributes on files shared out via Samba (read-only, et al), I am
curious if that means it can now copy those as well with the -A flag?
