the rsync method is much more likely to work out of the box w/o any tuning. i'd be surprised to see a majority of installations where the multicast settings we have today works out of the box - it doesn't in my test network here, for example. getting to that point will take some iterating. i always thought of oscar as trading off performance for ease of setup & use. if that's the case, then i think rsync should remain the default for now. -- --------------------------- dann frazier Hewlett-Packard Linux and Open Source Lab [EMAIL PROTECTED] (970) 898-0800 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
