- Hmmm, couldn't you put /usr/local/bin in the path before the
- location of remsh and rsh, then make a script called rsh that does
- an "remsh $*" as it's only command? How about aliasing for those
- using only ksh or csh scripts? Doesn't an alias get translated
- first before the command is passed to the interpreter?
