No problem, then. I did the same thing earlier this month when I moved my
system from one box (with old bad drives) to another (with new ones).
You can run rdist over ssh if you just set ssh to use rhosts
authentication.
The rdist command looks something like:
rdist -f distfile \
-P /usr/local/bin/ssh \
-l file=rdist.log=notice,nerror,ferror,warning
And check these lines in /etc/sshd_config:
IgnoreRhosts no
RhostsAuthentication yes
AllowSHosts [space-separated list of IP addresses]
