Problem with rdist

[Jamie]

    Hello,

    I'm trying to set up rdist here to update binaries and other files to
our machines from one main host.

    I'm stuck on one particular part: the -R option doesn't seem to work.
This is the distfile:

 FILES=( ...files... )
 HOSTS=( ...hosts... )

        ${FILES} -> ${HOSTS}
                install -R ;


I am running with the command:

rdist -P /usr/bin/ssh -f distfile


  It updates all files out of date, but files on the remote host which
aren't on the local host don't get deleted (the -R option is supposed to
do this).

  running with:

  rdist -R -P /usr/bin/ssh -f distfile

  also doesn't seem to work.


    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

   Thanks,

   - Jamie
