rdist-like software

I am keeping two servers in sync with ufsdump/ufsrestore. It has been
suggested that I use ssh-under-rdist instead, which would be much faster
in this environment. I googled rdist and find that the newest version,
6.1.5, aside from the fact that it will not compile, has in the README
references to the new OS released by Sun -- Solaris 2.5.1 (??!!).
Version 7 is is alpha, and has been unchanged for at least three years.
It at least has the gnu autoconf configure, but it still bombs out
immediately if you try to compile it.

Has anyone recently downloaded, built, and configured rdist? If so, where
did you get it from? What I am looking for is an application to keep the
filesystems of two servers in sync via a non-root ssh connection.

TIA, and I will summarize.
