I've been playing with Unison, too. I like it, but have found a couple of issues. You mention an e-smith RPM -- where might I find that? Also, when running from a Win client, I've been unable to find a way to automate (and thus schedule) the operation because of SSH password or passphrase requirements. The operation stops, and waits for you to type in the passphrase for SSH before doing any syncing. SME server won't allow a non-root user to SSH, or allow a blank passphrase, and I haven't found any way around that. Have any ideas, anyone?
Thanks,
