    Has anyone noticed the following remsh/awk behavior and if so, a workaround?

    Issuing who on the local machine works as expected.

    $ who
    dmullins pts/ta Nov 2 13:10
    npathil pts/tb Nov 3 16:30
    cdigrego pts/tc Nov 5 05:18

    Issuing who on the local machine and using awk to print out just the user
    name works as expected.

    $ who | awk '{print $1}'
    dmullins
    npathil
    cdigrego

    Using remsh to issue who on a remote machine works as expected.

    $ remsh dhapp01 "who"
    plpcd5 pts/ta Nov 5 09:21
    gpaveza pts/tc Nov 5 09:27

    Using remsh to issue a who on a remote machine and using awk to print out
    just the user name fails to work.
     
    $ remsh dhapp01 "who | awk '{print $1}'"
    sh: 1: Parameter not set.
