Not to be alarmist, but you might want to check rdist.
I have been having some serious problems using it across ppp. The "r"
commands have been failing for me for weeks now. "rsh machine ls"
would fail mysteriously after 1 successful attempt, refusing to work
again. strace revealed a socket permission error. "rsh machine `ls
-l`" would truncate its output. As a result rdist would fail.
I just checked (I haven't in a while), and things seem OK now. It
could be because I just upgraded to kernel 1.3.70, or it could be the
newer debian packages I got at the end of last week.
This problem only surfaced when I was on a ppp link. I didn't see the
symptoms between the ethernetted Debian machines in the lab.
Just thought you should know.
