[rescue] Non-rescue post: basic (?) rcp error

[Robert Darlington]

Do other network apps work, such as scp?  Make sure to rule out
routing issues.  What operating system is installed on these sysetms?
Any firewall software on them?  I went through this with clusters on
IRIX and I know it can be a pain in the butt.
