Isn't the "true purpose" to tell OXP that it is OK        AA>> to kickstart the nodelist updates when a new DIFF arrives?               MF> Ahbut that's only half the story, it says nothing about the        MF> hitherto unknown fact that a nodelist can be        MF> updated(overwritten) with a new full nodelist. The way I        MF> see it is that the true purpose is that a nodelist can be        MF> updated either by using a diff or by using a full nodelist,        MF> depending on whether the switch is on or off.              AH! I like *that* explanation. Put *that* in the Helps. ;)              I had no idea that oxp could utilize incoming "full" nodelists        and update the config that way. I thought the updates only        pertained to diffs if/when they arrived. And otherwise if the        diff setting was disabled, I thought that NOTHING would happen        with the incoming files - and require manual processing.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: The ONLY point that matters! --> . <-- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1016 1017 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
