List-Id: The Unix Heritage Society mailing list Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Owner: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: Every so often I want to compare files on remote machines, but all I can do is to fetch them first (usually into /tmp); I'd like to do something like: rdiff host1:file1 host2:file2 Breathes there such a beast? I see that Penguin/OS has already taken "rdiff" which doesn't seem to do what I want. Think of it as an extension to the Unix philosophy of "Everything looks like a file"... -- Dave
