>Description:
when issuing a remote rsh command "rsh chilly ls" where the remote machine
has user home directories mounted over NFS, and those home directories
are not mounted w/ root permission, rsh fails to read user's startup
environment (.cshrc/.login) or set the home directory variables correctly.

rlogin works as it should.
>How-To-Repeat:
rsh a command into a machine with NFS mounted home directories.
>Fix:
rsh should become the user before attempting any access on the user
home directories, which would fixt his problem.
