Created attachment 316406 [details] Proposed patch for krb5-1.3.4-60. When using rcp to copy files to/from a NFS volume rcp doesn't report an error if the filesystem is full already, e.g.: rcp biglocalfile remoteserver:/nfsshare/ Where bigfile is big enough to fill the "nfsshare", no error appears. This may lead to silent data loss. This is caused by NFS not reporting an error (ENOSPC) during write(2) but just in the close(2) calls (more info in the close manual page).
The same bug for rsh: bug #461901
