I am just wondering...

Doesn't rsync work if you want to synchronize files from 
computer A to B?  But it won't work between both A to B and 
B to A?  I think what Chuck is asking is that you need to 
know whether to run rsync on computer A or on computer B.

Also, I think in Chuck's case, he has a central computer and 
>1 other computers.  So if synchronization is one-way, then 
you need to figure out where to run rsync.  Of course, when 
you push files across, if the target has an extra file from 
an earlier synchronization, --delete will remove it.  But I 
don't think rsync can sync in both directions.

If it can, then I guess I have been running it wrong :-P 
because that is why I moved from rsync to unison [which, 
again, has rsync behind it].
