- You can setup everyone's calendar on a central server, but all machines still
- run rpc.cmgr. They then reference their calendar as user@server instead of
- user@localmachine. The nice thing about this is it centralizes all calendar
- files in to one place making backups easier and allows everyone to access
- their calendar regardless of what machine they are logged onto.
