What were you trying to do?
	retreice a file from deliverator using rcp with only k4 tix


What went wrong?

(decmips client)
tla:~: rcp -px pie:/var/athena/sshd.truss /tmp/foo$$
rcp: Arg list too long
Exit 1

(Athena 8.1 sun client)
the-other-woman:~: rcp -px pie:/var/athena/sshd.truss /u1/foo$$
insufficient space avail (10228, want 14128)
rcp: Not enough space
Exit 1

speaker-for-the-dead:~: rcp -px pie:/var/athena/sshd.truss /tmp/sshd.truss
Trying krb4 rcp...
rcp: I/O error
Exit 1

On at least some machines a zero length file was created


What should have happened?
	The file should have been copied


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?

	At least from the 8.2 solaris client, the problem went away if
	I had k5 tix.

	I did not test sgi clients

	Testing against cvp (8.3.8 sun) things also failed, but did so
	silently.

the-other-woman:~: rcp -px cvp://etc/passwd /u1/foo$$
the-other-woman:~: cat /u1/foo$$ 
the-other-woman:~: ls -l /u1/foo$$ 
-rw-r--r--   1 jweiss   mit            0 Jun 21 06:11 /u1/foo16889

speaker-for-the-dead:~: rcp -px cvp://etc/passwd /tmp/passwd
Trying krb4 rcp...
speaker-for-the-dead:~: cat /tmp/passwd 
cat: cannot open /tmp/passwd
Exit 2
