Use unison for when you want directories to be identical, and rsync when you want to sync one way only. You can configure both of them to use ssh, and if you use ssh keys along with ssh-agent, syncing could be done automatically (say in a cron job, or perhaps a post-up clause in the network/interfaces file). The possibilities are endless! Although neither of these solutions are network file systems, they are nearly ideal for keeping laptops in sync, and are much less hassle to set up than things like coda or intermezzo. matt -- Matt Foster mattfoster@clara.co.uk | ee1mpf@bath.ac.uk http://www.mattfoster.clara.co.uk
