I'm trying to get rdist to work between AIX v1.2 running on
and IBM370, and an IBM RT running AIX 2.2.1.  When I do rdist
from the 370 to the RT, I get a message as follows:

	rdist: connection failed: version numbers don't match

However, rdist works between the 370 and an RS6000 running AIX 3.1
and two IBM RTs running AOS.  Therefore I assume the proble is
with the rdist running on the RT with AIX 2.2.1.

Has anybody had this problem before, and what did they do to fix
it?  I tried compiling the BSD rdist from uunet, but the compiler
gagged on it.  Any help fixing this is appreciated.

Thanks,
-Hugo

Check the BSD/AOS manual entry for rdist.  There's a caution about this error
message.  It suggests that the problem may in reality be something else,
such as being in too many groups.  I'm mentioning this because it may not
exist in the AIX manual entries - it doesn't seem to be on our RS/6000.
Another wonderfully edited manual entry....

So, first off, I think I'd try it on a vanilla user's account.  This case
should work.  If not, then you've got problems that may be harder to
resolve.
