# /srvd/bin/rcp.ucb -p sol:/etc/passwd.local venus:/etc/passwd.local
Kerberos rcp failed: No ticket file (tf_util).
trying normal rcp (/bin/rcp.ucb)
It pauses long enough before printing the message that it's almost
certainly actually trying. This is a frustration because that is a
significant amount of time, and because shell scripts that use it are
loud and confuse people who don't know what rcp.ucb or kerberos are in
the first place.
I'm very curious how an infinite loop was avoided...
