oldrdist for linux?

[dendenners]

Hi,
I'm trying to get an rdist operation running from an aix machine to a linux machine. It seems that the rdist on the aix box is a little older than the version on the linux box, and attempts to execute the rdist on the linux box with a '-Server' option. The rdist on the linux box recognizes this option as being valid for an older version of rdist, and looks for a file called 'oldrdist' in /usr/bin as well. However, this oldrdist does not exist on my machine, and while I can find some info on this linux program on google, I can't seem to find any downloadable executable. Could someone point me to one? Thanks

Yeah, I've looked at that one, but as I understand it that version is a newer one. You can get it to reference the oldrdist for old rdist commands,but it doesn't look like the oldrdist is included in the distribution

Your looking for the old rdist version? Why not just upgrade all the servers to the newest version?

We run into problems with dependencies when compiling the new rdist for aix. It requires other packages to be installed as well, and we don't want to move from out current aix version, because these machines contain our mission-critical apps.

What version are you looking for? rpmfind.net has a few older versions, as well as the new ones.
