   btw...is everyone aware the old..old....OLD rdist bug works on 386bsd?

A new version of rdist was posted about a year ago, which does something
differently.  It is not compatible with the old rdist, but has
compatibility mode.  I think a security problem in the earlier version was
mentioned either in the posting or the documentation.  Is the rdist
included in the 386bsd the old one or the new one?
