Your shell is eating the quotes here, and the client is
canonicalizing the hostname from DNS, so what you really end up running
there is
stella 18.90.1.47 -rename DESCOM.MIT.EDU
which the server likes just fine, and there's no error to report; if you
run:
stella 18.90.1.47 -rename \"EWALL.MIT.EDU\"
properly escaping the quotes, it should work.
