with the dash capital P, I'm saying prompt me for a password. Again, no long options in this world, so just deal with the short options. Dash capital P means prompt me for a password. In real life, as I said before, I would set up SSH keys so that I could access that remote host without a special password, without telling rdist to prompt me for it. Probably I would set it up even without a password on the key, because really ultimately I want this to just run, I would probably be running this as a daemon. I wouldn't be running this manually, so I would just do rdist slash usr slash bin slash SSH. That's because by default or something, rdist uses rsh. And so, let me look this up in the man page here. Yes, okay, so it says to use any other transport method than rsh, use the dash capital P option. Okay, so I lied. Dash capital P is not to prompt for the password, it stands for rdistdpath. No, sorry, it stands for transport path capital P, not lowercase p. Transport path. So you see, (6/53)
