I have a problem that other people have also experienced, that of
occasionally getting a "connection refused" message when doing an
rsh from one freebsd machine to another immediately after doing another
one.  The first succeeds, the second fails.

Doing a search in "freebsd-questions" and "freebsd-hackers" for "rsh
connection refused", I find at least three or four discussions of this
same problem going back more than a year.  Has anyone tracked this down?
It's the cause of some pretty seriuos annoyance in some scripts I've
written -- everything was working fine when I was talking from FreeBSD
to Solaris, but now that I've switched my server to FreeBSD as well,
I'm getting kind of whacked by this bug.
