[coldsync-hackers] my patches for multiple users & multiple concurrent conections

[Francisco Castro <fcastro@solucionespalm.com>]

Hello All!

       I've seen a few people here building centralized "enterprise 
coldsync servers"... i'm working in a project that requiere this too.

   The changes i made to coldysnc are in the attached patch. Here is the 
summary of modifications in this patch:

       * New conduit headers "UserId" and "UserName", these are de palm 
userid & username.
       * Only tcp part of netsync is in coldsync, the udp part of the 
protocol is handled by "pi-csd" daemon from pilot-link. Coldsync is 
called from inetd in "nowait" mode (multiple simultaneous conections 
allowed).
       * Use only one linux user for multiple palms, in daemon mode 
(-md) there is no more ".palm" directory,  now this directory is created 
with the same name as the palm user name. So if we use the "coldsync" 
linux user, the directory structure will be /home/coldsync/<palm user 
name 1>/, /home/coldsync/<palm user name 2>/, etc.
