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. --Jim Dempsey-- jjd@bbn.com
