i figured ourt what was wrong with rdist.  the permissions on the .rhosts
file were 664 instead of 644.  sheesh!

well, i encountered something else strange.  unless you were root, you could
NOT run ps -ax on either servers since they were created.  it gave you
permission denied.   now it does not.  anyone can run the command.  is this
something i should be concerned about?

thanks in advance
