Comment 1 Adam Tkac 2007-09-27 13:33:29 UTC

Option -D will be removed in RHEL-6 because -a is sufficient. This change
requires release notes

hi Adam, 

please advise if i got the following release note correctly (for RHEL5.1 release
notes updates):

<quote>
rsh cannot function properly if IP addresses cannot be resolved to hostnames.
You need to use the -a option when running rsh in such an environment.

This change won't be in RHEL5. This is bug for RHEL6 because I will drop -D
option in RHEL6. So no release note is needed for RHEL5.1

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2009-09-11 15:56:29 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 5 Adam Tkac 2010-01-22 09:14:10 UTC

In the end, due compatibility reasons, rshd accepts -D parameter but it has no effect. This bug can be considered as fixed.
