It seems like RH sets some kind of environment setting. Although I don't
know which one. What you can do is (I think), try and telnet to that RH
box... then telnet to localhost and press the escape character (probably
control+]), and then type environ list, or some other environ command,
this will tell you what environment setting is made. How you can enable
such stuff, I don't know (when you do, let me know ;).
