(old sysad trick #45)

if you chose to "rcp", I would suggest you use rdist instead because
rdist will copy the data file into a tmp file on the destination host
then move it in to place; where as rcp will truncate the file them fill
it up with the new data, thus if you have a crash during a transfer you
are *fucked*.
