I have used rdist to update various files (such as /etc/hosts) on other machines on our LAN. Under RH7.3 this worked, under RH9 something has broken it.
Basic security considerations/sanity checks no doubt.
Have you considered using ssh instead? it's a more secure, drop-in replacement for the r-commands.
