No debian doesn't use /sbin/nash.  If you can send me a working patch 
for syncing images   I will be more than happy to commit the same to the

Things to be done

1) ssi_arch.pm right now uses cluster_mkinitrd . This should change. I 
am waiting for Brian's reply on this
2)  Understand and modifity ssi-ksync. I never looked at this.
