- I use rdist extensively to set up new machines. Pushing current files
- for printcaps, links, setting up /home/* all work very well. Very
- useful for motd. I also use it less extensively to maintain machines
- (but it still gets a fair amount of use). I would really like to see
- the command line option of -d fixed to allow multiple hostnames within
- brackets....this doesn't work with rdist shipped with SunOS 4.1.2....only
- one hostname is picked up.
