System name:		jump-master
Type and version:	KN01 7.1H
Display type:		PM-MONO

What were you trying to do?
	Use rsh.ucb

What's wrong:
	It will always fail, with:

jump-master ~)/usr/ucb/rsh.ucb fionavar.mit.edu
rsh.ucb: unknown host

	The problem, I would guess, is because it is checking the first
	argument to see if it is "rsh"; if not, it assumes that is the host
	you wanted to execute the command on.

What should have happened:
	The sources should be hacked to change the name that it checks argv[0]
	against to be "rsh.ucb"; the same hack that is in r1.2 of rsh.ucb.c in
	/source/bsd-4.3/common/ucb.
