Maybe better, since you can (I'm told) also serve out your complete browser config. And if you change it from your machine at work, it is there when you start your browser at home. Unfortunately, setting this up is anything but trivial. A couple ports that may help with Olli's idea, though: Port: bk2site-1.1.7 Path: /usr/ports/www/bk2site Info: Transforms Netscape bookmarks into a Yahoo-like website Port: bkmrkconv-1.10 Path: /usr/ports/www/bkmrkconv Info: Netscape bookmarks.html converter Personally, I'd like to get the LDAP server set up, but the LDAP protocol is so general (you can serve damn near anything!) it is rather confusing to someone who is accustomed to more task specific protocols like HTTP.
