[comp.bugs.4bsd] rdist -c problem

Has anybody seen/fixed this problem?

Problem:

	rdist -c foo machine:/tmp

gives an error message rdist: /rdista12345: Permission denied. Looks
like the last component of the directory path gets stripped. Happens
on/between Vax 4.3 and SunOS 3.4.

Workaround:

Specify the file twice:
	rdist -c foo foo machine:/tmp
