Trying to use environment variable in rdist dist file

[Database Administrator]

I am using rdist, and trying to use an environment variable inside my
dist file, but it is not being picked up.
e.g. with env directory DDIR=/d,
dist file contains:
XDIR=${DDIR}/X
then uses ${XDIR}
but rdist complains that DDIR is undefined

Any ideas?

I don't see anywhere in the man page that suggests you can use arbitrary
environment variables in the configuration file.
