    I was questioning the thing about not getting the dot files, but now I
    realize that this means not the dot files in /home. It would get the dot
    files in /home/<username> though. You would get the config files for the
    users. A little slow this morning.

    Question: What is the 'sync' for? I haven't done this before and am
    wondering what I've been missing.

    Thanks,
    Anita
