Hi there,
I was trying to update a set of files under couple directories to other
hosts on the network and I was trying to use rdist to do it.
After go through the man pages and I write up a simple distfile and try.
the distfile is something like:
HOST = ( host1.abc.com )
FILES = ( /usr/local/bin/test1 )
${FILES} -> ${HOST}
However when I run it "rdist -f distfile" I got:
updating host1.abc.com
Permission denied
I think I missed something but I cannot find the relevant info from the
man pages. Could someone point me to the right direction?
Thanks
S.L. Chan
