RCP problems
Hi!
Daily, one of our RedHat Enterprise servers tries to get some files from other RedHat Enterprise server through rcp. Strangely, only the smallest files (about 80K) are transferred, the larger ones (about 40Mb) are not. The rcp doesn't issue any error message, only keeps waiting and waiting for hours. I have tested with ftp with the same files and got the same result. The strange thing is that other files even larger are transferred without problems, so the problem seems to be in those files, but I am unable to find it. Scp or ssh work fine with this files, but rcp must be used for internal reasons.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Best regards,
Daishi
