ok, gotcha for downloading source tarballs you can specify the downloader command to use any command you like. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent option for rsync'ing the portage tree. As I said finding some way to alias the rsync command to womething like rsync -e ssh username@ and you would need to set up public/private key pairs for the various users involved, so you could login non-interactively. hmmm sounds easier to run rsyncd, but no doubt you have your reasons :-) > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
