If moving password files and such I prefer "scp" from the ssh distribution. It does encryption over the wire and compression. I do wish it had the intelligence of rdist though.... Did you check that "exec" was enabled in inetd.conf? This is diferent that rlogind that rlogin uses. -David Langford >I have been working for a couple of weeks now to get rdist to work and have >been very unsuccessful. > >So now on to the next option.
