Hi,

There seems to be a problem with rsh in 5.5T release. The problem is
that it always gives a :

	Host name for your address unknown

error for the address. Is it trying to look for the host in /etc/hosts
or /usr/hosts/*?? Shouldn't this be changed like rlogin?? Also the man
pages for rsh and rlogin wrongly states that it looks for the hosts in
/etc/hosts. This should also be changed, right??

Oh well, thats it for now. Thanks in advance.
