The first gid of the user running the rsyncd service is 512, but...

... I use --numeric-ids and I have these two lines in the rsyncd.conf
uid = 0
gid = 0

If I understand it correctly now rsync sends all files with uid=0 and
gid=0. And obviously those uid and gid exist on the Linux machine.

No, I don't use that.

I thought uid=0 and gid=0 would solve that.

There is a "fake super = yes" in the rsyncd.conf and the --fake-super
option is added on the Linux server.

But the thing that surpises me is that in 3.0.9 is just worked.
