OK an Update.. I have setup rdist to go the other way and it works. (ie. I
can go from remote to local but still cannot go the other way) I continue to
get the permission denied on the other server.

I have checked my hosts.equiv and .rhosts and both of these are correct or
at least the same (except different host names) on both servers.

When I check the /usr/bin/rsh on the server that it is running successfully
on the permissions are r-sr-xr-x. On the server that I continue to get the
error on the permissions are r-xr-xr-x . Can this cause the problem? and if
so how do I correct/set the s permission flag? (Never had to do that before)

Thanks
