I'm running a script which transfers xauth data via rsh, then
does an rlogin; the error message I got was:
$ pc66
rcmd: connect: mvmampc66.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de: Connection refused
Here's my 'pc66' script:
case $DISPLAY in
"" )
;;
:[0-9]* )
xauth extract - `hostname`$DISPLAY | remsh mvmampc66 /usr/bin/X11/xauth merge -
;;
* ) xauth extract - $DISPLAY | remsh mvmampc66 /usr/bin/X11/xauth merge -
esac
exec xrlogin mvmampc66
(remsh is the HP-UX equivalent of rsh, and xrlogin is a local hack
which also sends over the DISPLAY variable).
I couldn't reproduce this; looks like a fairly rare race condition.
There was nothing in the syslog files, and there appeared to be no
ill after effects.
