Dear all,

thanks to helper scripts for the central configure script,
options like

    --with-path-rsh=/usr/local/bin/rsh
    --with-path-rlogin=/usr/local/bin/rlogin

are properly activated, but "configure" itself issues
warnings that these be unknown switches. Could someone
attend to this false message? Alfred?

Our main issue is that "rcp" needs PATH_RSH and "rsh"
needs PATH_RLOGIN, and thus they should __always__
be initiated to "$(bindir)/rsh" and "$(bindir)/rlogin",
whenever either of these are enabled as build targets.

However, BSD systems define one or both of _PATH_RSH
and _PATH_RLOGIN in <paths.h>, whence the priority (2),
as stated in "./paths", take precedence over the setup
for PATH_RSH and PATH_RLOGIN in "./paths".

Alfred, could you look into this matter, making sure
that our built "rsh" and "rlogin" get used always?

Simon, could you go ahead to test Shishi functionality
of "rsh", "rshd", "rlogin", and "rlogind"? The binaries
build properly on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, except that
the auto detected inclusion path is incorrectly passed 
on FreeBSD. I will attend to this within shortly.


Best regards,
  Mats E A
