Tim,
I got the authenticating rsh working on several machines I use daily,
including a MIPS Ultrix host.
Permission denied errors from "rsh" usually indicate that the local
copy of /usr/afsws/bin/rsh is not owned by root and setuid. The rsh
command needs to make a socket call on a privileged port which
requires root powers. Make sure that "ls -l /usr/afsws/bin/rsh" shows
something like this:
[~] ls -l /usr/afsws/bin/rsh
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root 122880 Dec 12 1991 /usr/afsws/bin/rsh*
Or, try the command while logged in as root.
