>Description:
When using rdist with an alternate remote shell program (ssh-1.2.20) exits
on signal 11 when the target machine in /etc/distfile is down.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Setup an /etc/distfile file to copy some files to a machine that isn't currently up.
2) Make sure ssh is on the machine you run rdist from.
3) Run rdist -P ssh -f /etc/distfile
>Fix:
Dunno aside from bringing the target machine up.
