I use rdist (triggered from /etc/daily), but the standard build does have
limitations and can dump core in some circumstances (refer
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=141551244520320&w=2).

My use of it is to maintain a shadow boot partition, and to copy selected
files onto a separate server. Whilst it is less powerful than rsync it is
nice (in my view) to have a tool like this in the standard distribution.

Cheers, Michael
