Don't know if anyone has already noticed this, but the rdistd from the rdist
package that comes with FC2 can't create symlinks. If you try and rdist
symlinks TO the FC2 machine, it will always fail with a "File exists" error.
This is caused by the switch from 'mktemp()' (which just creates a tmp
filename string) to 'mkstemp()' (creates string and opens file) between the
rdist in FC1 and FC2. Posted the bug and solution along with more details on
bugzilla (bug# 123833,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123833).
