*** This bug has been split off bug 67361 *** ------- Original comment by Need Real Name on 2002.06.23 11:32 ------- From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: rcp in 7.x, derived from netkit-rsh-0.17, doesn't preserve errno when it encounters a filesystem write error (e.g. filesystem out of space). When it ultimately prints out an error message (in the switch(wrerr) statement), errno is unpredictable. The easiest way to reproduce the problem is to rcp a sizeable file onto a system's /boot filesystem. Instead of "No space left on device", I've seen it say "Success" and "No such file or directory". Fix is to add a wrerrno variable, and every time you have wrerr = YES, add a statement wrerrno = YES. This fix is in more recent versions of the freebsd rcp source.
Fix confirmed with 0.17-25.3. Moving to PROD_READY.
