I am running FreeBSD 2.2.6 and this is a copy of my ps aux output.... root 16994 0.0 0.7 480 192 ?? Is 6:15PM 0:00.01 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/rdist -qif /etc/pw_sync root 16997 0.0 2.1 224 628 ?? S 6:15PM 0:00.02 /usr/bin/rdist -qif /etc/pw_sync what does the "-c" option do for "/bin/sh -c" ? what does the "-qif" do for the "/usr/bin/rdist -qif" ? I was running rdist on my mail server, pushing out passwd, group, adduser, etc. to the rest of my machines.. ns, radius, backup boxes, etc. But it's broken! I really need a hand in fixing this problem, So if anybody out their was had experience in running this, Please email me. Thank you!
