I haven't seen this, but there is another rsh problem that I have discovered. I log into my machine as "house" to start X, and my .xinitrc file does rsh localhost -l paigen xterm.... rsh localhost -l wife xterm.... The first one has the environment variable LOGNAME set to "wife". So does the second. This plays havoc with many programs. Has anybody seen this one? -David -- David Paigen, aka Sir Henry Lee, Queen's Champion Will answer stupid user paigen@best.com C, unix, X, news, and questions for beer. paigen@forte.org distributed systems (good beer)
