: and a patch was issued last November.

I found in the file netexec.c (??) a such a bug in definition of
remote environment during Remote Shell execution. It is completely
unpossible to execute .profile to create remote evironment.
So I changed the execution of this .profile to other environment definition
file (.envdef). Otherway I was not able to setup cluster of computers.
(I can not execute my .profile remotely.)

Reagards
