bad ownership or modes for directory /root

[geekaz01d]

The path /root in container has incorrect ownership, which throws the following error in the receiver container (although the permissions are wrong on the sender it doesn't induce any errors):

Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /root

Solution:

drwxr-xr-x 1 99 users 18 Jan 1 01:24 root

cd /
chown root root
chgrp root root

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18 Jan 1 01:24 root

More info about this:

If I create the paths (as root on host) before setup, it doesn't happen.

The issue specifically occurs when unraid docker container configuration is used to create the path.

I think that specific to unraid.
i tried to reproduce on a regular doccker host (debian ) and i did not had this issue.
i will do more test

I think the appropriate solution for a problem like this is to document it, not code around it.

Any updates here? I've tried adjusting the permissions and owners to no avail.

EDIT: Adjusted recursively and that fixed the errors they are syncing now. Now to figure out why the password won't sync.
