Well, _that's_ easy to fix. I have a little bash script called 'synchome' that uses rsync to update the home directory on any of the remote machines on which I work. I've had to install rsync on one or two of the boxes, but that's a useful thing to do anyway. (Granted, I still have a couple bugs to work out, where I haven't taken the time to conditionalize things properly for some of the more exotic machine configurations, but hey, if I spend more time on those machines I'll get around to it...) Now, if you are a Windows user, then I sympathise...a little :) --RDM -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
