rdist command "Permission denied."

[Rigler, Steve]

I see.  I usually reserve rdist for synchronizing a few files across 
multiple hosts.  For local synchronization I'd use rsync, cpio, or tar:

rsync example:

rsync -avu /source/path /destination/path

cpio example:

cd /source/path; find . | cpio -pvumd /destination/path

tar example:

cd /source/path; tar cf - . | ( cd /destination/path && tar xvf - )

I am trying to rdist locally as root from one path to another to retain
all files and links on a redhat machine.

You'll probably need to provide a little more info.

>From the information about /etc/hosts.equiv I'd assume you're
attempting to rdist via rsh, but you didn't really say.  If
you are, then are you attempting this as root and what platform
is seahawk?

When I try to use 'rdist' I get this error:

seahawk: updating host seahawk
seahawk: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Permission
denied.".
seahawk: updating of seahawk finished

I have the hostname entry in the /etc/hosts.equiv file.
