Rdist is a program to maintain identical copies of files over multiple hosts. It preserves the owner, group, mode, and mtime of files if possi- ble and can update programs that are executing. Rdist reads commands from distfile to direct the updating of files and/or directories. good luck, ============================================ Gardner Buchanan <gbuchanan@sympatico.ca> Ottawa, ON
