Okay, I'm getting frustrated here. C6 has been a bit of a bear. It looks like I am also having trouble with rsh on C6 with just @core as well. At least with the NIS stuff I was able to determine rather easily why it wasn't working, but with rsh on workstation working and only on my server with @core, I can't seem to figure out what the package is that I am missing to make rsh on C6 work.
