  This behavior is generally considered a bug in the original version of
  .Nm rdist ,
  but is present to allow compatibility with older versions.
+ .It Sy defgroup[=groupname]

+ .It Sy defowner[=owner]
+ If the owner of a file to be transferred does not exist on the destination
+ host, use the specified owner instead.

+ .It Sy history
+ When
+ .Sy savetargets
+ and
+ .Sy history
+ are both defined then the target file that is updated is first renamed from
+ .Pa file
+ to
+ .Pa file.NNN
+ where NNN increases for each generation update.
+ The first generation is 001, and the last is 999.
+ After 999 generations, the counter is reset to 001 and 001 will get
+ overwritten all the time.
+ This is undesirable behavior, so some other method needs to be devised
+ to clean up or limit the number of generations.
  .It Sy sparse
  Enable checking for sparse (aka
