Let the user decide whether to install 44bsd-rdist, rdist6, both, or neither. As they don't support the same protocol, this may cause confusion for those who think rdist6 may interoperate with Solaris or other vendor's rdist, while rdist6 will interoperate with RedHat Linux rdist. Also, documentation clarifying interoperability issues between the two major versions of rdist s/b put in the handbook and/or the description files of each port. (We could even put a plug in for rsync).
