Unfortunately, when you do
rcp root@po2:/tmp/foo root@po1:/tmp/foo
all rcp does is
rsh po2 -l root rcp /tmp/foo root@po1:/tmp/foo
(I may have po1 and po2 reversed).
So, for this to work, you need tickets on po2. The other choice is to
make rcp able to act as an intermediary between the two hosts. For
now, you could rkinit, rcp, kdestroy. In krb5, I suppose this could
all be done right.
