And how another client will now the ip address of the first gconfd?

If they use broadcasting, both machines have to be in the same network 
(or special routing have to be done?), then it will be easier for me to 
start gconfd on the server. I have to networks (192.168.1.* and 
192.168.2.*).

Thank you anyway, I'll try. I wonder, is anybody here, who use /home 
mounted over NFS?
