Hello Glenn,

Well, I basically want to install/update the packages without needing
to have /usr/ports mounted on each machine (since some are on other
continents and NFS isn't known to be working very well over high
latency connections).

The homepage is promising BUT the tool is a major security threat:

RCMD_CMD
Command to use to connect to remote machines. The command chosen must
be able to connect with no password to the remote host. Defaults to
rsh

Now I don't think I'll want to have SSH root logins without
passwords on webservers.



Best regards,
 Gabriel
