Thanks Kris, - But Rsync (1.5M) is also not in src/ ! - Rdist(1) is in the 4.3 UCB blue ring bound URM manual. Principle of least suprise could have left it. Rdist is more generic on older Unixes, which often have no rdist6 or rsync. - Does src/ have anything protocol compatible with most other older &/or commercial Unix bases ? - 4.3 UCB URM does not even list man fortune(1) yet 5.0-DP2 src/games/fortune bloats 3735K. ports/net/44bsd-rdist takes 297K, 4.7 src/usr.bin/rdist is just 114K. - Please consider restoring rdist to FreeBSD.
