Hmm, today I can't reproduce the setuid error.. :(  
I did have localhost in .rhosts, as I have been testing rsh.

Now I'm confused...  Anyone else see a 'rcp: lost connection' when
using rcp to a cisco router? (like: rcp router:running-config test)
The file is copied correctly, but rcp exits with an error, which
causes my shellscript to fail.  On NetBSD 1.2, the same command returns
a 0.
