Hi:
    I have an application which needs to use rsh to send commands from a
Linux box (RHEL3) to an AIX 4.3.3 rs/6000 box.

    The command just hangs.
IE > rsh aixbox date
will just sit there, for a long time.

The user name, password, and user ID are the same on both boxes.
On the AIX box I have a .rhosts file correctly placed, and a hosts.equiv
file set up correctly.

In fact, as you know, if you type 'rsh' without a command listed, it
will try to rlogin you in. This in fact works!
IE > rsh aixbox
   will open a rlogin connection, without even asking for a password.

I suspect that there's something going on with the Linux box, and the
output from the rsh command isn't being properly greeted upon it's return.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
