How about a custom made PAM-module, which automagically copies the users home to the second server each time the user ends his session? Would fit bot situations. Also, I think rsync can be configured not to overwrite never files on a target machine, so I think rsync in cron could do the job quite well in both directions. -- Otto Kekäläinen / Sange.fi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
