On the client I have a menu that does various things. One of the menu items does a rsh -n theserver cat /etc/data | display_the_data_locally If I select this from the menu, all goes well. If I quickly select it again, it pauses and after what seems like a minute the message 'connection refused' appears on the console. Another attempt brings on the same message after another minute. Yet another attempt and it works correctly. It seems that after doing one the above rsh's I have to wait 20 to 120 seconds before I can do one again. Any idea what is going on? I have two different client/server pairs doing this. Thanks, Brian Litzinger brian@easynet.com
