Cluster ssh and why is .csshrc moved to .csshrc.DISABLED

I find cssh very helpful, creating small clusters of 5 servers it's very convenient and easy to track errors after running a command. I have set up an /etc/clusters file which works fine but before that I was using a .csshrc file. What I don't understand is why every time I was using this file, it was being moved to .csshrc.DISABLED.

Moved $HOME/.csshrc to $HOME/.csshrc.DISABLED

I googled and googled, and searched the man pages and every doc I could find, but I couldn't find the answer to why this is happening. I am just very curious. Anyone knows the answer?

Had the same problem. To configure your clusters use $HOME/.clusterssh/clusters instead

It has slightly different format:

<tag> [user@]<server>[:port] [user@]<server>[:port] [...]

Check man page if you need more details

The file lives in ~/.clusterssh/config now.
It would have been nice if they included the new filename in the message.
