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.
3.1 _N_o_t_e_s
Creating the software distribution directory requires rrrrooooooootttt
access to the host, and the user is reponsible for moving
the new page to the appropriate location in the document
directories.

The webdist Web Interface can be accessed using one of the
following methods:
+o Invoking your web browser using the URL

WWWWeeeebbbbTTTToooooooollllssss icon catalog page.
3.3 _U_s_i_n_g__w_e_b_d_i_s_t_(_1_)__D_i_r_e_c_t_l_y
The script ////uuuussssrrrr////eeeettttcccc////wwwweeeebbbbddddiiiisssstttt is responsible for generating
the HTML for the Web software distribution page, and can be
used directly at the shell prompt. Please refer to the
manual page webdist(1) for information on using this utility
