SUMMARY: rsh fails 2/3 times

Problem:
        rsh (on 2.6) seems to work only every
        third time. It does not seem to matter
        whether the remote machine is the same
        or different on each call.

Solution:
        The local machine has more than one
        network interface (real or virtual),
        ALL of which need to be in the remote
        machines .rhosts (or hosts.equiv etc).

        (These symptoms are also consistent
        with DNS/NIS problems meaning that
        names may not always be properly
        resolved.)
