Does this seem like the type of thing that would be well-recieved into the base-distro or ports? Or would it simply be seen as putting extra load on the CVS servers? An optional thing I would be interested in putting in this is the ability to disfavor any server which was close to its access limit. Is there any support in the protocol for knowing which user out of how many you are? -Dan Mahoney -- Hate fedora with a white hot burning passion right now though ... damn thing is Linux-XP(tm) -Bill Nolan 2/24/04 --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------
