-u will make sure that newer overwrites older, not vice versa (warning- make sure clocks are right!- I don't do this till I'm sure ntpd is running on the machines). and by source-address and destination-address you of course mean path-to-file-or-directory in this context (though of course one of the other can also be prefixed [EMAIL PROTECTED]: which implies ssh transport). rsync won't sync deletions though- unison's probably better if you want that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
