I'm trying to use rcp to copy files between two NetBSD 1.33 computers.

"rcp <filename> <user>@<host>:"  produces "TERM: Undefined variable",
and the file is not copied (previously, output from .cshrc was confusing
rcp, but that problem was rectified).

"rcp <user>@<host>:<filename> ."  produces
"rcp: protocol error: mtime.sec not delimited"

The same commands to/from a NetBSD 1.2.1 machine on the same
network work fine, the files are correctly copied.

I was wondering if it might have something to do with reserved ports
(ala the -noresvport being required when exporting a directory).

If anyone has a solution or suggestion it would be greatly appreciated,
as archive and google searches have not produced any helpful leads.

Thanks in advance,
Tim
