[coldsync-hackers] Network Hotsyncs?

[Jeff Hoover <jeffh@infotechfl.com>]

I was wondering if someone could help me set up coldsync on a Red Hat 7.1 
machine so it accepts network hotsyncs from other unix and windows 
machines?  Is this even possible?  I have a local account on the machine 
with coldsync, but not all the other users do.  Can it use NIS data for the 
/usr/local/etc/palms file, or do the other users need local accounts as well?

I don't think I really know what I am doing, but so far I have installed 
coldsync and p5-palm.

My /usr/local/etc/coldsync.conf:

listen net {
}

pda "Jeffh Palm" {
         snum: "";
         directory: "/home/jeffh/.palm";
         userid: 505;
         default
}

conduit sync {
         path: [generic];
         type: */*;
         default;
}

My /usr/local/etc/palms:

/etc/services has:

netsync-wakeup  14237/udp                       # Palm network hotsync wakeup
netsync         14238/tcp                       # Palm network hotsync data

/etc/xinetd.d/netsync-wakeup:

service netsync-wakeup
{
         disable = no
         socket_type             = dgram
         wait                    = yes
         user                    = root
         server                  = /usr/local/bin/coldsync
         server_args             = -md -t net -s -
         log_on_failure          += USERID
}


Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help.
