That's true, but ironically, not actually covered by synce at present. :) AFAIK, sync-engine will happily run if ~/.synce/config.xml does not exist, even if it *previously* existed. It'll just copy it afresh from /usr - and, naturally, everything then gets reset to defaults. OS30 gets reset to OS20, and chaos ensues, as you point out. The only case that actually causes sync-engine to fail to run at present is if ~/.synce/config.xml doesn't exist, and it can't find the 'original' in /usr . The case where a user inadvertently (or maliciously, or whatever...) deletes ~/.synce/config.xml , but the 'original' is still available in /usr, isn't 'protected' against at all. -- adamw ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
