Hi, I wanted to clarify.
In manpage for rdist I see that we can use option -o remove . remove Remove extraneous files. If a directory is being updated, any files that exist on the remote host that do not exist in the master directory are removed. This is useful for maintaining truly identical copies of directories. However, this seems to be the default anyway. If I specify "install /tmp/" and try to copy /tmp/test.file all the files in /tmp/ on the remote host will be wiped out and only test.file will remain there after copy. This behaviour seems to fit with "directory update" feature of "remove" (like if we do "install -o remove /tmp/"). Yet, "remove" was not specified above. Is my understanding of default behaviour correct? This how it supposed to be working?
