I'm at a total loss. Never had this problem in pre 7.3,
Solaris and my few BSD boxen.
I figure I'm doing something really stupid.
So .. I hope someone can help.
I now have 3 RedHat 7.3 boxes, all behave the same way,
and the Valhalla list has send me here.
Anyway here is what I have for files/setting
My 'test' command is
[blatz@us-pelican blatz]$ rsh us-pelican date
Permission denied.
[blatz@us-pelican blatz]$
For testing I'm doing both the request and destination
on the same host.
