[gnu.bash.bug] rsh and bash

barratt@DASH.MITRE.ORG (Jeff Barratt) (02/09/90)

We recently moved from bash 1.03 to 1.04 (we *were* going to wait for
1.05, but...) and now our rsh scripts are broken.  It appears that
bash 1.04 does *not run any scripts* (e.g. /etc/profile) on rsh.  Is
that true, or are we doing something wrong?

We have an /etc/profile on the yp master (dash) that provides a minimum
environment, but the command
	rsh dash env
clearly shows only the bash default environment.

Thanks for a great shell.

Thanks, Brian. Your dedication and support to this shell is
outstanding.  (But when *is* 1.05 going to come out?)
