Whatever that means, I'm sure it is good. Other than that, the easiest way will be to work on one machine at a time (that doesn't seem unrealistic from the OP's original mail). Think of the project as if it were a piece of paper, there is only one master copy and only one place changes can be made. I would not use samba for this, I would use nfs as the connection medium. Why? Personal preference really, plus nfs is seamlessly part of the filesystem so writing scripts to sync one set offiles with another is trivial as long as the nfs mount is intact. With one big big proviso: Make sure than your user account has the same uid on all three machines. The write some scripts to rsync data to and from between the current machine and the server. hth alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
