Thanks for everyone's response.
I have tried the /etc/hosts.equiv and it did work. However, the file
orginally to be updated is own by root and I have to put a superuser
(not root) in the distfile in order for rdist to work and after those
files are updated, they were all own by that superuser (not by root
anymore). How can I preserve the owner of the files that I want to copy
over the LAN? (When I put root login in the distfile, "permission denie
came out again. But I remember the man page example uses root!)
Thanks
