  I used following command:

  /usr/local/bin/gtar -czf - | rsh linuxsys -a "(cd /tmp;tar -xzf -)"

  Thanks for the pointer, I will use && from now on.

 Here is more info.

 System A ==> AIX 5.1 system that is having problem with rsh.
 System B ==> Linux (2.4.18-27.8.0) system that is the target for the rsh
              command.
 System C ==> Any other AIX (4.3.3, 5.1, 5.2)/Linux (Redhat 6, 7 and 9)
              system.

 I can run rsh from A to C without any problem.
 I can run rsh from C to B without any problem.

 I am having problem with rsh from A to B.

 Systems A and C are in U.S. and system B is in our office in phillipines
 connected for dedicated T1 line.

 I have another AIX 5,1 system that is at the identical patch level as
 system A and I can rsh from that system to the system C.

I haven't lost my mind,                Above opinions are mine only.
it's backed up on tape somewhere.      Others can have their own.
