Hi,
	I'm trying to get the latest version of rdist(6.1.0) working
on bsdi2.0. It didn't take too much work to get a clean compile, but
it gets a segmentation violation when I rdist TO the bsdi 2.0 machine.
It doesn't core dump when I rdist to the bsdi 2.0 machine AND the 
dirs/files being rdist'd don't already exist.

To go any further, I would have to pull out gdb and also start
understanding all of the rdistd debugging info, not a trivial task!

Has anyone ported rdist to bsdi 2.0 yet or had better luck doing it?

FYI The rdist that comes with bsdi 2.0 is the old version...

thanks for any info,
edgar nielsen
