cross platform rdist
Daniel B. Holzman
SSH. Unfortunately, my environment contains SCO, SunOS for x86, FreeBSD,
and Linux, to name a few.
My rdist source machine is Linux, and my FreeBSD, SunOS, and SCO machines
fail with the error "rdistd: not found." Searching for rdistd on some of
these machines show it missing altogether(!).
Has anyone had luck with rdist across platforms?
Thanks.

then all machines can use the same file at the same time,
Remember though to check file locking etc.
also, try looking at CVS, but I think on SCO, CVS comes with the dev kit
and not with the standard box :(.

You don't say what kind of 'SCO'. There have been many, through the
years.

Never tried it, but I had noticed that SCO had supplied a replacement
binary in oss449e for 5.0.0/5.0.2, so I did 'man rdist' on a 5.0.5
machine and it told me how to start up rdist as a daemon. A lot of other
interesting things, too.
