Bug#4680: rsh issues bizarre error message on syntax error

[richard@greenend.org.uk (Richard Kettlewell)]

Package: netstd
Version: 2.05-1

If you get the syntax to rsh wrong in a certain way, you get a really
bizarre error message:

richard@sfere:richard$ rsh valour -l -- id
valour.greenend.org.uk: Address already in use
richard@sfere:richard$ echo $?
1
richard@sfere:richard$ 

Leaving off the command part has questionnable behaviour, too:

richard@sfere:richard$ rsh valour -l --
rlogin: connection closed.
richard@sfere:richard$ echo $?
0
richard@sfere:richard$
