System name:		cloudy.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.2.10 (with mkserv)
Display type:		cgsix

What were you trying to do?
	Run a command in a remote shell.

What's wrong:
	There's diagnostic output going to stdout instead of stderr.
	Notice below that the error is the only thing that *doesn't*
	go to standard error:

	cloudy.mit.edu# rsh noc hostname
	Couldn't authenticate to server: Bad sendauth version was sent
	Trying krb4 rsh...
	whos-there
	cloudy.mit.edu# rsh noc hostname > /tmp/out
	Trying krb4 rsh...

What should have happened:
	The error message should have gone to stderr, where it would
	refrain from confusing shell scripts.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
