Your example config file (an perhaps manual as well, dont remember exactly) tell me that uid 0 has to be configured, so that rsh runs. When doing so ipcad refuses to start ! It costed me over an hour of troubleshooting fixing and documenting for you and finding the best way to fix the port when I next trapped over the bison problem. And you tell me, the patch is useless ? *sigh* come on, everybody who reads the config file and wants to use rsh functionality traps into this bug !! Or he doesn't read the docu accordingly. Currently your programs documentation and the program itself are not in sync, causing errors when configuring things properly. And this costs time.
