15 i agree, i think automagicly syncing the tree is a bad idea..... look at
16 it this way.... Do you have your windows machines set to automgicly
17 chack, and install updates ? In an age where system administration is
18 almost unrequired, there are still some things you should od by hand....
19 like syncing the tree, and while updating the system, keep an eye out
20 for messages to indicate potential problems.... yes it's not fun, but
21 it's the key to a stable system.
