Have you tried newer glibc versions resp. newer rsh packages? There are a few minor bugfixes that might be related in the newest rsh packages in rawhide. Read ya, Phil
updated glibc + glibc-common to 2.2.4-8 with both rsh packages to 0.17-5 but all still as gloomy & non-functional as ever. Any further thoughts? r., PeteM
