They're not documented terribly well in any external documentation, but the pydoc docs are a good place to start from. 1. drop the use of ssh from your util that should be handled outside of it 2. have your util have a source and dest mode. in the source mode it generates a file documenting what's on the machine in the client mode it reads that file and makes the current system look like the contents of the file. that simplifies what you have to do a good deal and you can leave the data transport of the file up to the user. -sv -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
