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.
