I have installed rfs on 4.3BSD and it took a bit of work.  The 4.3
diffs, despite what they claimed, were aparently against an earlier,
possibly pre-release, version of 4.3.  I had to do quite a bit of
adjusting to get the patches to install.  There were also a few changes
to the scripts.

I got it installed and wouldn't want to be without it.  It does have the
crash on exec of a remote executable problem.  Apparently the 4.2
release had the same problem but a fix was released.  I have not been
able to track down the bug so we just work around it.  (Does anyone have
the fix that was sent out for the initial 4.2 version?)

I could mail you the diffs to the diffs or whatever if you want them.
