It's "just" a convenient way to copy filesets across machines, but it works well to keep a local image of your mail folders on many different machines. You have to remember to sync before and after reading mail (or else be willing to merge your changes manually). Note that it really is just a 2-way syncher. To get it to do N-way, each of the replicas needs to be synched against a master copy. -- Dan Pelleg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
