Grab ftp://ucl.edu/pub/rdist/rdist-6.1.3.tar.gz, then in config/config.h change #undef _PATH_OLDRDIST #ifdef _PATH_RDISTD #undef _PATH_RDISTD #endif #define _PATH_RDISTD "/usr/local/bin/sdistd" #ifdef _PATH_REMSH #undef _PATH_REMSH #endif #define _PATH_REMSH "/usr/local/bin/ssh" make, install. Now sdist is rdist with ssh. -- mark
