Perhaps we should fix the rdist6 implementation to not look for "oldrdist" but to look for /usr/local/bin/rdist5. Then again, I'm still looking why the protocols are that different. I know there are enhancements, but I've not ascertained what they all are yet. I still (reluctantly) advocate removing rdist from the base system, but the question of BSD44 products (rdist, csh) that aren't in the base any more is still unanswered. There have been several things bugging me about rdist 6, and this pushed it on my "investigate and repair as necessary" list. - Steve -- C.
