Now I believe that the problem lies in rsh not rdist.

Going the opposite of the way that I want to go it works

        localserver.com << remoteserver.com

but going the way I want it dies.

        localserver.com >> remoteserver.com

Now I ran rdist as another user on both machines with the -D flag and found
that as soon as the rsh command is invoked the permission denied is given.

Now I can rsh from localserver to remoteserver with no problem. But on the
successful rdist it attempts to do something with an stty command and that
is where localserver.com is failing.

If I try to run "rsh remoteserver.com stty" from localserver.com I get
"permission denied" however going the other way It completes normally.

I appreciate all the assistance that I have received. It has helped as I
have gotten rdist to work. Just the WRONG WAY.

Thanks again.
