I built up rdist-6.1.0 two days ago, and merged our bugfix with Deborah's FreeBSD printf changes... I was going to ask if I could do it too.. :-) Rdist-6.1 gets arounf the traditional security problem of running setuid-root, by opening a pipe to rsh. This is unnecessary if you are *already* running as root, as you can do a rcmd() directly. Much less CPU and context switches when updating 30 machines at once.. :-) -Peter
