About all I can add is that r-stuff is notoriously weak about return codes;
whether rcp suffers from this I can't say.

Oh yeah -- rcp should be suid root, contradicting another post in this
thread. It binds a privileged socket (by calling the lib routine rcmd).
I describe the case on 1.2.1; if 1.3 has changed this, well then it's
different now :)
