	I am having trouble uux'ing a shell command file from a remote machine
where the shell command file contains one or more rcp or rsh commands. The
rcp command reports "lost connection". The situation is something like this:

Machine A:

	% uux b!cmd !file

Machine B:
/usr/bin/cmd:

	rcp $1 c:/tmp

	The rcp reports "lost connection". Running cmd on B manually works fine.
I suspect that rcp is unhappy because it doesn't have a controlling tty. I did
try, however, something like:

/usr/bin/cmd:

	(
		rcp $1 c:/tmp
	) < /dev/console > /dev/console

but it didn't help.

	Thanks.

P.S.	Running 4.2bsd on a VAX750 with an Interlan ethernet to a MVAX II
running Ultrix.
