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.
