I use CVS to synchronize. This means that I might need to to the usual conflict resolution if I have modified the same entries on more than one machine, but it works well. I set bbdb-file to point to a file inside a checked-out CVS tree containing my bbdb file (and other stuff). -- David Kågedal ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
