Unable to use rdist in parrellel mode with 2.1.0p2 ...
Morning all ... using the following command to sync up the binaries on several machines: rdist -P /usr/slocal/bin/ssh -Rf /root/sync-systems generates the following error message(s): jasper: updating host jasper hermes: updating host hermes attila: updating host attila hercules: updating host hercules ".rcules: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Couldn't initialise builtin random number generator -- exiting. hercules: updating of hercules finished ".rmes: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Couldn't initialise builtin random number generator -- exiting. hermes: updating of hermes finished webster: updating host webster iceberg: updating host iceberg ".sper: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Couldn't initialise builtin random number generator -- exiting. jasper: updating of jasper finished ".eberg: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Couldn't initialise builtin random number generator -- exiting. hawk: updating host hawk iceberg: updating of iceberg finished ".bster: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Couldn't initialise builtin random number generator -- exiting. webster: updating of webster finished dalmation: updating host dalmation owl: updating host owl ".wk: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Couldn't initialise builtin random number generator -- exiting. hawk: updating of hawk finished ".lmation: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Couldn't initialise builtin random number generator -- exiting. dalmation: updating of dalmation finished If I change the -Rf to -RFf, to force it to do one at a time, it will work ... even narrowing it down to only 2 hosts at once generates the same errors ... This is on a Solaris 7/sparc machine ... contention for the entropy pool? *raised eyebrow* Thanks .. Marc G.

In any case what is really needed here is the full output from a failing client. Would it be possible to run the client with a wrapper to collect its log output to a file? -d -- | "Bombay is 250ms from New York in the new world order" - Alan Cox | Damien Miller - http://www.mindrot.org/ | Email: djm at mindrot.org (home) -or- djm at ibs.com.au (work)
