1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

password.

fb9e3ade6c Remove the need for rdist(1) to run setuid, thus completely closing any
possibility of a security hole.  It now does what rdist-6 does, and calls
/usr/bin/rsh if not running as root.  There are NO protocol changes, this
is 100% compatable with the old rdist, except that it does not need setuid
root privs.

However, there are some minor differences to the base rdist-6 code in that
if it is being run by root, it will call rcmd(3) directly rather than
piping everything through rsh(1).  This is a little more efficient as it
doesn't involve context switching on pipe reads/writes.

Also, the -P option was added from rdist-6.1.2, which allows an alternative
rsh program to be specified, such as ssh.  Note that it requires the fixes
to the ssh port to disable the unconditional USE_PIPES option that was
recently added.  The rcmd(3) optimisation is disabled if a non-rsh program
is speficied.
