A few problems I've had include:
rdist works on 5.3 source host, but not from 5.4+amd64
(yes, I'm sure someone's out there will work, but
Mine doesn't (user & su) & does with 5.3, which iis
all that maters to me :-) also rdist depends on
which of rdist & rdist6 & 44bsd-rdist, & which
protocol, & what version other end etc, which is
why I'd not mentioned till now, & yes I know rsync
works too, but I'm comfortable with rdist[6]) &
5.3, not 5.4.
I don't think it has to do with amd64. rdist6 just plain refuses to
use ssh when running as root, making it mostly useless for updating
system files. it works just fine (amd64 and i386) on 5.4 as a
regular user.
