People use cvsync or rsync to create/maintain a local copy or copies of the repository. I use cvsync to sync one repository with an external source and then run cvsyncd on that box if I want repositories on other local machines. Not sure what your 'reliable' metrics are, but works for me. .... Ken > > Thanks > Rodrigo
