Binary package hint: pdsh

/usr/share/doc/pdsh/README.Debian suggests the default rcmd can be changed by 
creating /etc/genders/pdsh with a single line such as

ssh

This doesn't seem to work.

Running strace on pdsh suggests that creating /etc/pdsh/rcmd_default with the 
single line

ssh

does seem to work

I could see no reference to this in the man page either.

I suggest

a) documenting it

and maybe

b) setting the default to ssh

(which is going to be far more useful on a typical modern day cluster)

Tested this on the intrepid and jaunty packages - same problem seems to exist 
on both
