rsh fails with "accept: too many open files"

[Edward Vielmetti]

rsh is dying on me with this error message.  It appears to
be a problem on the local end (in this case euterpe) because
no matter where I rsh something the same error message.
(Sun 3/160, SunOS 3.5, and yp master).

/etc/pstat -T shows the 'inodes' at 226/226, so presumably that
has something to do with it; I confess the rest of the output
from pstat is rather uninformative to me.  Other things seem
to work fine, and I can telnet and ftp OK.

euterpe% rsh urania echo foo
accept: Too many open files
