Re: [coldsync-hackers] daemon mode

[leena at lothlorien dot net]

I used install-users to change my user name and id to Leena and 1001, and 
used those in my palms file. The -md flag worked great.  Thanks. However
when I tried to do a straight coldsync I got this erro message:

Error: This Palm has user name "Leena" (I was expecting "Leena Gupte").
Syncing would most likely destroy valuable data. Please update your
configuration file and/or initialize this Palm (with 'coldsync -mI')
before proceeding.
        Your configuration file should contain a PDA block that looks
something like this:
pda "My Palm" {
        snum: "*Visor*";
        directory: "/home/leena/.palm";
        username: "Leena";
        userid: 1001;
}

I made the changes to my .coldsyncrc file and reinitialized, and still
got the same error.

I should be able to use both coldsync and coldsync -md whenever I want
to, right?
Please help.

Leena
