Subject: synchronizing news on multiple clients
Date: Mon, 12 May 2003 12:54:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <uissgeya1.fsf@ece.ucdavis.edu> (raw)
I'm sure this is a fairly well-known problem, but I didn't see it in a
quick trip through the manual ...
I read news on my desktop machine, and use a Samba-mounted home
directory to store my .newsrc and its variants. Sometimes I read news
through a terminal on the Samba host and also use the same files. Gnus
plays nicely with these.
I would also like to use my laptop to read news. It can't mount my
home directory. How do I synchronize my .newsrc files between the two
gnuses? Must I manually run rsync or something like it to get the
relevant files from my home directory? Could this be done
automagically by gnus (what would be nice is if, when I called gnus,
it would ssh over to my server, grab the files, and use them, then put
them back when I quit gnus).
(This isn't a problem with imap and mail, I hope - I figure the magic
imap server will do the right thing.)
Thanks -
JDO
