not a bad idea, except that this would require the passwords in config files, since no user is going to be willing to enter his password again on every change of the file. in fact, if i have the users do push synchronisation, they are likely going to forget. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html get my key here: http://people.debian.org/~madduck/gpg/330c4a75.asc "i dislike arguments of any kind. they are always vulgar, and often convincing." -- oscar wilde
as an alternative: do it the otherway round. you useres store files in your ZODB with WebDAV. with unix-based clients (what i expect in your case) that works cool. but i don't quite understand why you don't use LocalFS, it should be possible one way or the other. take care gidon martin f krafft wrote:

I am not aware that "LocalFS" restricts to "ZOPEROOT" (also not doing it is quite a security risk). Dieter

Sorry, but Dieter and the rest insist that making the default for the list be 'Reply To List' is a horrible abomination of common sense, and that anyone with half a brain can go through the requisite gymnastics to correctly change the default to the one that is actually needed. I just get a kick out of all these idealists who defend that policy, and then either don't follow it themselves, or who constantly ask posters to "keep it on the list". ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe http://leafe.com/ http://opentech.leafe.com

I applaud your restraint. ;-) I don't wish to re-open it, either. Just want to hilite all the problems caused by the very people who claim the current practice is ideal. Perhaps, just perhaps, an eye or two might be opened. Well, I can dream, can't I? ;-) ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe http://leafe.com/ http://opentech.leafe.com
