Hi Misc, I got inspired by this answer
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=156405651502000&w=2 and decided to try to use rdist to sync few files on bunch of my OpenBSD servers. Everything works as advertised https://man.openbsd.org/rdist with caveats. I noticed that having a space between -o and remove instead of install -oremove,chknfs ; per example in the man pages causes files not to sync. That is of course not a big deal but it seems undocumented. However when calling rdist from a command line rdist -D with an existing /etc/Distfile I noticed that my private ssh key from /root/.ssh/ was not read unless it was named id_rsa. I did call rdist -D as a root and I have a valid working and well tested /root/.ssh/config file. To make matters worse if the destination host sshd listens on a non-default port I don't see the way to specify port to be used by rdist when calling ssh. I don't see anything in log files. Is there anything I can do short of reading rdist code to understand how to force rdist to read a ssh config file. I am guessing I could play with /etc/ssh/* files on the local and destination hosts. Most Kind Regards, Predrag Punosevac
