- The Web Software Distribution Tool (WebDist) creates Web
- pages from which users can install software over the
- network.
-
- The process involved in creating a Web Software Distribution
- page consists of the following:
-
- +o Providing an unprotected gggguuuueeeesssstttt account on the Web
- Server host
-
- +o Creating a software distribution directory on the Web
- Server.
-
- +o Exporting the software distribution directory to the
- Web by creating a Web Software Distribution Page.
-
- WebDist guides the user through the entire process, and
- automatically generates the Web Software Distribution Page
- where users can install the software products contained in
- the software distribution directory.
-
-
- NNNNooootttteeee:::: Creating the software distribution directory requires
- rrrrooooooootttt access to the host, and the user is responsible for
- moving the new page to the appropriate location in the
- document directories.

- The script ////uuuussssrrrr////eeeettttcccc////wwwweeeebbbbddddiiiisssstttt is responsible for generating
- the HTML for the Web software distribution page. Please
- refer to the manual page webdist(1) for information on using
- this utility.
-
- NNNNooootttteeee:::: In previous releases of WebDist it was possible to
- generate the Web software distribution page from a web form
- (http://localhost/webdist.html) This feature was disabled
- for security reasons in IRIX 6.5. The secure way to create a
- distribution page is using the webdist(1) script.
