Package: pssh
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: wishlist

the freebsd port of the pssh toolset has been modified to allow '-' as an alias for stdin in the host file specification (http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/security/pssh.html). this feature is included in other tools (e.g., fping) and is very useful in them. could it be implemented here?

thank you.

I guess you speak about this patch, right?

The change wasn't implemented at upstream yet. Are you willing to test a
patched Debian package?

yes, that looks like it is the patch, thank you!

i'm not using the pssh-suite of tools daily so it wouldn't be an
exhaustive test, but yes, i would be willing to install and try out a
patched .deb.

thanks again!
