This is version 6.1 of Rdist from USC. It is based on rdist from
|
|
|
|
|
4.3BSD (classic). It includes all fixes for all bugs known to the
|
|
|
|
|
CSRG Berkeley folks. It has been running at USC and numerous other
|
|
|
|
|
sites for some time now on a wide variety of platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version of rdist is not directly compatible with rdist
|
|
|
|
|
distributed with 4.3BSD and subsequent vendor releases, but does
|
|
|
|
|
indirectly provide full backward compatibility.

|
This version of rdist does not need to be setuid "root" at all. Rdist
|
|
|
|
|
now uses the rsh(1c) [remote command] program to make connections to
|
|
|
|
|
remote hosts, instead of making the connection directly. This
|
|
|
|
|
eliminates the need to be run as "root". Many thanks to Chris
|
|
|
|
|
Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> and John DiMarco
|
|
|
|
|
<jdd@cdf.toronto.edu> who came up with an rsh version of rcmd() that
|
|
|
|
|
makes this possible.
