Re: Re: [coldsync-hackers] Netsync questions : serial trouble, userid, filter fi

Thanks, very helpfull. Abou getting the userid, how can i do so on the  palm side without installing anything? for exemple, i would like to ask by phone to a new user his userid in order to setup its palm sync account on my server.

I only let this inside my coldsync.conf :
conduit sync {
    path: [generic];
    type: DB00/DBOS;
}

But it still sync all the whole content... :o/
