Description Philippe Causse 1998-09-21 08:40:00 UTC 
rsh does not read the standard input.
This prevents from doing transfers over rsh like:
	 tar cf - /dir | rsh host tar xvf -

Fix: By running a diff from 2.2.6-RELEASE agains 2.2.7-RELEASE, I easily
found
the bug.  It was a local declaration of variable s in function doit().

Below is a diff for applying the correction.
How-To-Repeat: 
On a 2.2.7-R box, try:  echo foobar | rsh localhost cat
It fails to print foobar, as expected.

I also noticed this bug for the same reason. (wanted to make network backups)
Can we put this in errata file?  I enabled rexecd for now and changed the
jobs around.

It would be even better if the corrected binary could be placed up on
ftp.cdrom.com, for those that don't have room to install the source tree.
