Hi !

	Re problems with tstmachines. 

	I'm not sure why tstmachines failed. tstmachine is a simple shell
	script that makes a file called foo in bin/machines/, does an rsh
	on another host and checks if foo resides in bin/machines. So if
	you were to run tstmachines on china.cfdrc.com

	** tstmachines would create bin/machines/foo    [on china]
	** rsh to glasgow                      [from china]
	** do ls bin/machines/foo on glasgow and store the result in a file
	** return to china and show you the result.

	I can't see why this didn't work. However the whole idea is to see
	if glasgow can access your working directory. An easy way out is to do
	it by hand.

	on china, do
	> rsh glasgow ls .cshrc

	if  you get .cshrc as a result, then things are fine. processes
	on glasgow can access you directory.

	But your programs seem to be working. Great !

	Ray
