The fact that .0 starts with "our customer" is a good
clue that you should file an IPMT.
This is almost certainly a customer configuration issue.
One would need to see the contents of the file lee.com
Such things take time. IPMTs give a 'charge number' for
the time invested.
That said...
I am not the Rcommands maintainer, but I did just
fix a series of bugs in the Rcommands.  I know of
nothing such as you report. This would be a 
new situation.
RSH is used in the build of UCX for Alpha, so we
are pretty sensitive to it being broken ;-)
Two things that you can check:
	1) You could check that the 
	   sys$sysdevice:[ucx$rsh]ucx$rsh(d?)_startup.com is the
	   same as the one in the UCX 4.1 kit.  If this was a new, clean
	   installation, this is probably so.  If UCX was upgraded
	   from a pre-existing version, it is possible that an old
	   file was left around. Now, I know of no changes in this
	   file from UCX X.X to 4.1, but there may have been. 
	2) (John G. please keep me on the straight and narrow here).
	    For complex reasons, some of the Rcommands do not like
	    keyboard input/activity while they are processing. That
	    is typeahead at the keyboard can mess-up (technical term)
	    the command.  I'm not sure if RSH is one of these.
I hope this helps,
Lee

|  |     re .3.  Actually I upgraded from UCX 3.3 to 4.1 on my Alpha just to
    play around with this problem.  It seems that the UCX$RSHD_STARTUP.COM
    file did change from 3.3 to 4.1.  The new file is
    
    $ !  UCX$RSHD_STARTUP.COM

    $ sys_net = f$trnlnm ("SYS$NET")
    $ s = f$locate ("$" , sys_net) + 1
    $ l = f$length (sys_net)
    $ z_net = f$extract (0, s-1 , sys_net)
    $ s_command = f$extract (s, l-s , sys_net)
    $ z_net = f$extract (0, s-1 , sys_net)
    $ l1 = f$length (z_net)
    $ s1 = f$locate (":" , z_net) + 1
    $ ss_bg1 = f$extract (0, s1 , z_net)
    $ ss_bg2 = f$extract (s1, l1 , z_net)
    $ if ("''ss_bg2'" .eqs. "") then ss_bg2 = ss_bg1
    $ !
    $ !Now:
    $ ! ss_bg1 has the output device,
    $ ! ss_bg2 has the error device, and
    $ ! s_command has the command.
    $ ! Allocate the devices so they stay around, define the output and
    execute
    $ ! the command.  Wait a bit so output buffer is flushed.  
    $ !
    $ alloc/nolog 'ss_bg1'
    $ alloc/nolog 'ss_bg2'
    $ if ss_bg1 .nes. ss_bg2 then define sys$error 'ss_bg2'
    $ define sys$output 'ss_bg1'
    $ write sys$output ""
    $ 's_command'
    $ write sys$output ""
    $exit:
    $ exit $status
    $ 
    
    The old file had a $ WAIT 00:00:01  just before the $EXIT:
    I wish I had saved it before upgrading.
    Do you think this might make a difference?

 Hi all,
 one customer (check Nice call #5500) has the same RSH pb highlighted under .0 
 using the following configuration:
                 RSH-clnt                         RSH-srv
        - OVMS AXP V6.2-1H3                - DECBrouter90 2TA
        - UCX V4.1-ECO4                    - Firmware 10.3.17
   *** WARNING:  first UCX installation ;-(
  
 
 TCP traces attached to #5500 report the same RSH behaviour described under .0
 More informations from UCX-Engineering ?  Should i IPMT ?
 Did you already IPMT ?  If yes, which CFS nr ?
 Many thanks in advance.
