Mark,
First of all, thanks for your help. But your answer made me think about
another question:
- What is the procedure to add a new route? If you modify
$SBHOME/etc/routes, do you have to restart Stonebeat too? Is there any way
to add/delete routes without swithing over?
- And, how do you change the "passphrase"? Can this generate any problem?
Again, thanks in advance,
