Poor implementation, it seems.  Hopefully they'll fix this oversight.
There's a new CSD out for base services TCP/IP, and it should be
available any day now from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu via anonymous ftp (check
/pub/uploads/sharebbs initially).  Has anyone determined whether rsh
has been revised?

Check the SAMPLES directory -- there might be something there you can
use (hint).

Also, there's a third party rcp-equivalent.  You can obtain it from
the above mentioned ftp site.  Check the file /pub/os2/00Index on that
site for location.
