RE: [Openinteract-help] sync-ing users on 2 machines

[Andrew H. <hur...@ll...>]

So you want to migrate the users only?  I assumed you wanted to 
mirror the whole database...

For users only, I'm not sure.  I'm cc'ing this back to the 
openinteract-help list so someone more knowledgeable (Chris) can 
clear that up.
