Greetings,

  We have a dozen NFS servers, serving DOS PC's, spread across our
several different campuses. All are connected via a WAN and running at
least DEC UNIX 3.2a.
  All of the NFS servers serve basically the same DOS apps but are spread
around to share the load.
  I have been looking for a piece of software (commercial or otherwise)
which will enable us to keep all the images on all of the servers the
same.
  Our normal method is to use TAR and FTP, but some times changes don't
make it to every server.
  I've though about some FTP mirroring programs and RDIST but I am not
happy with the level of security they provide.
  If anyone knows about any package or method I can use to easily
sycronize ALL of the server images i'd appreciate hearing from you.


later.
