So I've noticed. I apears to try to run ksh and klogin first. There
doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off.
Could you elaborate on this PAM stuff, I don't see any reference to it in
the rsh man pages either.

If I could I would, but I can not. The old UNIX box that the tape drive
is on does not support SSH. I _need_ the old style rsh. I know all about
SSH.
I just want to make rsh work like it used to.
