Description henrich 2000-02-28 21:50:01 UTC

when issuing a remote rsh command "rsh chilly ls" where the remote machine
has user home directories mounted over NFS, and those home directories
are not mounted w/ root permission, rsh fails to read user's startup
environment (.cshrc/.login) or set the home directory variables correctly.

rlogin works as it should.

Fix: 

rsh should become the user before attempting any access on the user
home directories, which would fixt his problem.
How-To-Repeat: rsh a command into a machine with NFS mounted home directories.

Does this problem still occur in newer versions of FreeBSD, 
such as 4.3-RELEASE?
