I hit the same problems with mailboxes. Have you taken a look at rsync ? It's ok at file level, between two machines, when you consider that only one set of files is updated at a time (the rsync master will overwrite changes on the destination). > 2) Is there an easy way to connect my laptop to another machine with a > simple serial cable and setup a ppp or slip connection? If so, how? Yes, use a serial cable and setup a ppp connection :-) Or use PLIP (// port) -- see the handbook. -- -- Phil -[ Philippe Regnauld / regnauld@eu.org / +55.4N +11.3E @ Sol3 / +45 33241690 ]- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
