In trying to make our newly-installed FreeBSD machine work with our
source-distribution system, I've run into the familiar error from
rdist about a version mismatch.  After weeding out all conceivable
causes of this and still getting the error, I've decided that, for
once, the error is correct and they really are using different
versions of the protocol.

My question is, where can I get source to the old rdist that will
compile under FreeBSD.  (I would just try to compile FreeBSD's rdist
for our other machines, but that would get really ugly for some of
them.)

Thanks ...
