    Hi all,

    I have an RS6000 running AIX v 5.1.... I have installed gnu cvs
    1.11.7 and I would like to use the RS6000 as my cvs repository. The
    repository will serve 4 other unix machines, mainly linux
    workstations running red hat 7.3

    My problem is the following: to verify rsh connectivity between my
    linux machines and the aix, according to the cvs manual, I should try

    rsh -l username my.machine.com 'echo $PATH'

    The problem is that any rsh command to my aix takes an awfully long
    time... regardless of where the machines are.... they are in the same
    local network and ping response is ok.... see below

    I timed the rsh command as below:

    [dp@Mars dp]$ time rsh -l dp 10.2.3.61 'echo $PATH'
    /usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java130/jre/bin:/usr/java130/bin

    real 7m30.154s
    user 0m0.000s
    sys 0m0.010s

    SEVEN MINUTES!!!!!!

    These are the results of the ping command

    [dp@Mars dp]$ ping 10.2.3.61
    PING 10.2.3.61 (10.2.3.61) from 10.2.3.68 : 56(84) bytes of data.

    any ideas... please help
