You probably need a symlink on your SGI, like this:

l---------   1 root     sys            8 Apr 11  1990 /usr/ucb -> /usr/bsd

The problem is that the SUN tells RSH to run "/usr/ucb/rdist", but
SGI, in their finite wisdom, renamed /usr/ucb as /usr/bsd.
This one simple symlink solves myriads of similar problems...
