For bookmarks: LDAP, though I have yet to see a "roaming user" profile using a non-Netscape LDAP, it's certainly theoretically possible. Now that the browser and server code are seperate, and there's no corporate advantage to maintaining a server monopoly by not documenting what's required by the browser for this, perhaps the documentation can be dragged out of AOL. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
