10/5 Why do people think IMAP is betting than POP3 here? Is this an security issue? \_ Vegas has the best odds when you're betting. \_ IMAP has a superset of POP3 functionality. \_ IMAP stores messages and folders on the server. This means you can access them and from any machine that has an IMAP client. Email and folder content stored on the client is just a cache. This allows all IMAP clients to see the same view. In addition, clients can resync their folder cache and manage folders and email offline. This is useful when you read email from a number of different machines regularly and want one interface to all your various email accounts. \_ IMAP _can_ store folders on the server. That's how most clients are implemented. The protocol can also download and delete just like POP. |

10/5 self explanatory: http://www.truthbeknown.com/islamquotes.htm \_ good. we should not be "tolerant" of religions. we should come down on religion with a heavy, mailed fist of fury for all the shit that it causes. \_ Why not educate everyone instead? Real education, not steeping in dogma. Prisoners who gain an education in prison more rarely become recidivists. The same can be said of societies. \_ plz execute mailed fist on 90% of americans who believe in g0d. ObPersonalReligiousBeliefsvs.ReligionDiscussion \_ Better link: http://www.truthbeknown.com/photos.htm \_ That looks like Blojo in a wig. |

10/05 I am have several accounts each with useful files and I often travel. I am looking for some software that create a virtual file system transparently and securely distributed over several locations that allow me to access them no matter where I am as if it is some file on whatever account/computer I am using. I have seen some "meta-frame" program for Win2000 on my friend's PC but it must be very expensive, for large companies and perhaps only works for win2000. Please recommend a low budget or free solution, either *nix or preferabbly multi-platform. Ok tnx. \_ You may try a file synchronizer, like /usr/ports/net/unison. It works on unixen and windows (and is written in Ocaml to boot!) -- ilyas \_ I assume that you will have net wherever you are...have you considered just scp'ing/running rdist via ssh? That's kludge-y but assuming your boxes are on the net, it'll work. Otherwise, if you run the machines, you can run an ipsec vpn between them and (ugh) nfs mount between machines. Both of those would be free. -John \_ It sounds like cvs would be a good solution. With cvs, you set up a repository somewhere on your home machine and then you can check out/check in files from wherever you are via ssh. Basically you set CVS_RSH to ssh and you set CVSROOT to something like :ext:me@mymachine.net:/home/cvsroot. Then use cvs checkout, cvs add, cvs update, cvs commit, etc. See the cvs info file for details. I've been using this method to work on files from home, school, and my laptop. -emin \_ Thanks for all the answers. It seems that VNC tunnled through ssh plus AFS are what I need, if I have the foo to manage it. By the way, can AFS traffic be encrypted, say over ssh? |
