Therefore I assume the proble is :with the rdist running on the RT with AIX 2.2.1. Check the BSD/AOS manual entry for rdist. There's a caution about this error message. It suggests that the problem may in reality be something else, such as being in too many groups. I'm mentioning this because it may not exist in the AIX manual entries - it doesn't seem to be on our RS/6000. Another wonderfully edited manual entry.... So, first off, I think I'd try it on a vanilla user's account. This case should work. If not, then you've got problems that may be harder to resolve. ...
