If I start a twm on a remote machine, and I then get it to exit using
it's f.quit function then my rsh process hangs.

In my .xinitrc file, I have

  rsh -n crackle $XBIN/twm -display $DISPLAY

Twm starts and runs fine. When I tell it to quit, everything goes fine
provided twm does not have any child clients. If twm does have child
clients, then they are not killed. Further, twm dies allright, but
the in.rshd process and the local rsh do not die. Consequently, the
server doesn't die and the xinit hangs around.

Has anyone got a solution for this? The server is on a sun 3/60 and
the clients on a sun4 file server. The server and the clients have
been compiled with gcc 1.36 and the libraries with cc.
