1. Don't send the whole file. Just a diff -u or if that is so ugly it obscures the new code/text just send the section that is changed/added. 2. rsync.conf.yo is the soruce file in question. At present the man file sare generated from the yodl files with a non-mainline version of yodl2man. A change to the man file would have to be back-ported to the yodl file so it would be best to make your changes to the yodl file. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
