Hm. If you have NFS between the two machines, maybe the following works? Before loading (!) Gnus, you set gnus-home-directory to "/user@host:/path/to/dir/" and rely on ange-ftp to access all files relevant to Gnus. Dunno if this works. First, you might wish to try to create a new local dir and move all Gnus-related files and directories there, then try starting Gnus with gnus-home-directory set to that local directory. Then, you can try the ange-ftp trick on the other machine. kai -- Abort this operation? [Abort] [Cancel]
