-
- People who are having this problem with SunOS might consider using the
- xrsh script that is available on export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/xrsh-5.4.shar.
-
- It has a multitude of features not available in the R5 xon, and
- explicitly uses csh as the remote shell so that even bash users have
- the remote rsh exit before the remote xterm.
-
- The local rsh does stick around until the remote client exits on some
- System V machines such as HP-uX because have different bugs, but I
- haven't been able to solve that in a portable way.
