I've been wondering about this problem, and it just occurred to me that I
have the best folks at my disposal.

Occasionally Veritas issues updates to client software, which is usually
updated by the NBU software itself via install_client_files this works
over rcp and I believe FTP?  Most of our servers have neither of those
protocols running for security reasons, so I followed Veritas'
instructions and installed the software directly to the servers from
CD-ROM.  This doesn't seem like the most efficient way to update the
software.  

How are other folks doing this?  Is everyone enabling ftp or rcp?  Has
anyone hacked install_client_files and install_client for SSH support?

Thanks in advance!
