Has anyone had any experience with using track for software distribution among
several machines?  I am interested in any information regarding the use of this
software and how it compares with rdist in terms of speed, reliability, security, etc.

I would like to use either track or rdist to distribute approximately 150 Mbyte
consisting of 15500 files.

Please address replies to me and I will post a summary of responses.

Thanks in advance,
--Arnold M. Yee
