And what about using an NFS share? Just be sure to make copies and not use the file directly ;-) (I don't think I'd do this though, I have a hard enough time getting rid of the NFS we already have without adding more grin) === To unsubscribe, email '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with 'unsubscribe radiator' in the body of the message.

I use 'rsync' combined with 'ssh'. This allows for secure transmission between the servers and rsync is a more advanced version of rdist (plus it uses the ssh stuff for security.) rysnc: http://rsync.samba.org ssh: http://www.cs.hut.fi/ssh -- Aaron Holtz ComNet Inc.

Hi Jay. Try rsync from samba.org. Treat the primary as the source, make your changes only there, and copy everything to the secondary at regular intervals. The first copy takes a (relatively) long time, subsequent "copies" move only the differences across the wire. The nicest thing about it is that it uses a channel you set up - such as ssh, which will encrypt the lot, and which doesn't require having rcp/rsh holes on either server. It doesn't even require root access on the source machine. Depending on your setup, you might want to weave a "stop radiator/stop database" in there at the critical moments, otherwise you might copy inconsistent data. Regards, K.
