useless ?????

I read your manuals how to configure it.

Your example config file (an perhaps manual as well,
dont remember exactly) tell me that uid 0 has to be
configured, so that rsh runs.

When doing so ipcad refuses to start !

It costed me over an hour of troubleshooting fixing and
documenting for you and finding the best way to fix the port
when I next trapped over the bison problem.

And you tell me, the patch is useless ? *sigh*

come on, everybody who reads the config file and
wants to use rsh functionality traps into this
bug !! Or he doesn't read the docu accordingly.

Currently your programs documentation and the
program itself are not in sync, causing errors
when configuring things properly.

And this costs time.
