Does anyone out there have an rdist that goes the other way, that
is, one where the subscriber makes requests to a librarian and
pulls the files across rather than the master pushing them at the
clients? I don't want the subscribers to have the librarian
machine(s) in their /.rhosts files, either.
thanks a lot.

Yes - the name of the program is 'track'. I think it originated at Bellcore, but one place you can get it by anonymous ftp is from athena-dist.mit.edu. They have hacked with it some for Project Athena purposes, but I think you'll find it usable. (I'm not an expert on this - we just started trying to learn to use it.) haynes@ucscc.ucsc.edu haynes@ucscc.bitnet ..ucbvax!ucscc!haynes "Any clod can have the facts, but having opinions is an Art."

You can also get a version by anonymous ftp from cs.toronto.edu in pub/track.tar.Z. It is also hacked from the BellCore version. Mark.
