Description:
rcp (version 4.8) doesn't work for 3rd party copies.
In forking rsh it uses -L instead of -l, and uses the wrong
user name at the destination.
Even with this fix, I don't think this form of copy has the
right semantics in terms of who must be equivalent to whom.
I would have thought that if I could do
rcp host1.name1:foo /tmp/foo
rcp /tmp/foo host2.name2:foo
then I should be able to do
rcp host1.name1:foo host2.name2:foo
but that isn't the case. The current implementation requires
that name1 at host1 (not me) be in the .rhosts of name2 at host2.
Repeat-By:
Try doing one.
Fix:
Here is a 'diff old new'
