You can use rsh instead. However, I suggest you add openssh, which may be on your 6.1 distro disk, or you can find the 6.X rpm with: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/3384590/com/openssh-2.3.0p1-2.i686.rpm.html Note that you will also need a fairly recent rsync and a not-too-old Perl 5 to run dirvish, so I suspect ssh will be the least of your problems. I know how hard it is to upgrade distros (I am moving a machine from RH9 to an RHEL4 clone now) but sometimes you have to do it, or some evil twit on the internet will "upgrade" your ancient and exploit-heavy system for you. :-( Keith -- Keith Lofstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice (503)-520-1993 KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" Design Contracting in Bipolar and CMOS - Analog, Digital, and Scan ICs _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
