hi
the original question concerned this error message from rdist:
> bear: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "rdistd: Command not
found.".
the problem was that /usr/ucb/rdist had been replaced on the server only with
what appears to be USC's public domain rdist.
the full text of the original question is attached.
