What's wrong:
rcp's usage message says one thing, while its argument parsing
takes another. example:
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl/src]<jtkohl>
% rcp -e rwroot.c paris:rwroot.c
Usage: rcp [-p] [-e] [-k realm] f1 f2; or:
rcp [-r] [-p] [-e] [-k realm] f1 ... fn d2
Exit 1 rcp -e rwroot.c paris:rwroot.c
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl/src]<jtkohl>
% rcp -x foo paris:bar
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl/src]<jtkohl>
%
Note that it claims you should use -e, but it acutally accepts -x.
What should have happened:
It should tell me to use -x.
