And the number of security problems with rdist are legion. A large component of the decision to remove it from the base was the high incidence of security problems with the original code. That, coupled with the rdist6 incompatibility and the better alternatives, lead us to remove it from the tree rather than update the code. Next thing you'll be wanting perl back in the base system :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
