- On each client cm the user simply sets their default calendar to be
- my_name@server, and then browses,edits that. But note that you can only set
- your default calendar in OW3. Doing this does not need any login access to
- the server.

- On each client you must NOT run install_cm which adds an entry into your
- inetd.conf file for the rpc.cmsd process. Only run install_cm on the
- calendar server.

- Hope this helps.
