I'm experimenting with launching pine like this:

pine -cache-remote-pinerc

because I'd like have a local copy of my remote pinerc for the
times when my remote pinerc is unavailable. The first time I
launched pine with this command line it worked. The second time,
pine seemed to hang and I finally did a ^C and looked at
.pine-debug1 and saw this at the bottom:


Out of password caching space in private_store

My question: Does anyone know of an *easy* way to get a local
copy of my remote pinerc? rpdump is a pain because it requires me
to type my password so I can't put it in a script.

Thanks,
Nancy

Does your remote pinerc change much? I would also like a way to grab a
copy but I could just make a copy after any change, since it changes
very infrequently. I've not got a round tuit yet however :)

It changes all the time, pretty much every day! Partly because I
am constantly in pursuit of the perfect set up and partly because
I'm alway screwing around with my incoming-folders list.
Especially now that I use Pine as my feed reader (thanks the
Genecast for that).

I can't think of a good way to do it without your password.
If I remember correctly, cache-remote-pinerc was a largely failed
experiment that was never announced and which no longer exists in the
development sources, so don't rely on it (which apparently you can't do
anyway).
