# To use, enter your read-only hostnames on the 'for' line above.
# They must, of course, be accessible from the system you run this script on.
# The script pushes data (Address Book, iCal, and Safari bookmarks) from
# a master to one or more read-only systems. It is intended as a free
# replacement for a part of Apple's .Mac service that caused me some
# frustration.
# I wish Apple provided a way to tell those applications not to allow
# (futile) changes on read-only systems, although with .Mac services
# that should not be necessary.
# I don't sync ~/Library/Keychains/, because my keychain items vary
# between systems, so unidirectional sync would be suboptimal.
# You may get warnings when going between OS versions; I have had no
# trouble just ignoring them (so far).
# If you get double birthdays, try disabling and re-enabling the
# Birthdays calendar in iCal's Preferences.
