Hi,
I have encountered a possible problem with the kerberized version
of rsh (latest sources as of a week ago) compiled on a SPARC IPX running
SunOS4.1.2 It seems that the parameters may not be being properly passed through
to the /usr/ucb/rsh.ucb. A simple test case illustrates:
#!/bin/ksh
host=altair
rsh -n $host "\cd /user/altair1;df"
It fails with the error:
hendrick@truck:/user/neptune/hendrick
6>>./test
-n: unknown host
rsh: Kerberos rcmd failed: rcmd protocol failure.
trying normal rsh (/usr/ucb/rsh.ucb)
-n: unknown host
hendrick@truck:/user/neptune/hendrick
7>>
yet when I either: remove the -n option or replace the kerberized version
with the original, it works fine. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix for
it? The kerberos man page for rsh says it supports this ( -n ) option.
Thanks for any help.
Jim
