pssh project provides parallel versions of the openssh tools. Included in the distribution:

Parallel ssh (pssh)
Parallel scp (pscp)
Parallel rsync (prsync)
Parallel nuke (pnuke)
Parallel slurp (pslurp)

What are these tools good for? Mainly for controlling large collections of nodes in the wide-area, where faster alternatives such as GEXEC and PCP are not available. For example, I use these tools on a fairly routine basis on PlanetLab to control hundreds of machines spread around the world.

What's New in This Release:
Changed sys.path so pssh can run without RPM install.
Changed RPM library files to install in /usr/local/lib/python
make install and make uninstall now work as expected for installations from source.
