RFS: pdsh



1. The package contains a GPL V2 copyright statement, but also contains 
a       DISCLAIMER file which seems okay except the following lines:
                      NOTIFICATION OF COMMERCIAL USE
                                                                               
   Commercialization of this product is prohibited without notifying the
   Department of Energy (DOE) or Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
   (LLNL)."

This seems to me to conflict with the GPL, and I'd like confirmation on 
that.  I guess if it is, then the proper procedure would be to ask 
upstream about the conflict.

2. In order for the pdsh binary to be of use to non-root users it must 
be setuid root (just like rsh).  I'm not really sure if there are any 
additional procedures that need to be taken for packages with setuid 
root files.  I had trouble locating anything specific in the policy manual.

3. This is my first package I could have done silly things without 
knowing it.

Thanks,
Brian Pellin
