RE: [coldsync-hackers] Variables in Coldsync.conf

["Brian Johnson" <bjohnson@jecinc.on.ca>]

Now that gives me an idea.

As far as I can figure, right now to add a new user, you need to add an
entry to /etc/palms to map the palm user to a local user and also make a pda
block in coldsync.conf or .coldsyncrc.

I don't know the internal operations of Coldsync, but can the mapping to the
local user be done within coldsync.conf?

Not only that, but if getting the local users home directory is difficult,
can we just define it in the pda block and then refer to it later in the
coldsync.conf file (in the conduit blocks)?

I think that $(HOME) gets expanded to the home directory of the user
running coldsync.  Are you running it as root?

I don't have a solution to the problem, just more fuel for the fire.

It would probably take a special hack to coldsync to either read in
the users environment, or just set USER and HOME after it has figured
out who's palm is in the cradle.
