Package: rsh-client
Version: 0.17-12
Severity: normal

(the server and client in question here are debian version 0.17-12. I am
not sure wether this applies to other versions as well).

"rlogin invoked from rsh does not propagate the window size."

example: using rlogin

   $ rlogin frank
   ..
   $ stty -a
   speed 38400 baud; rows 35; columns 142; line = 0;

All is well. Using rsh (which invoked rlogin) does not do this, however:

   $ rsh frank
   ..
   $ stty -a
   speed 38400 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;

I didn't notice this because I usually invoke rsh by means of a symlink:

   lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 12 Mar  9 03:16 frank -> /usr/bin/rsh

   $ frank
   ..
   $ stty -a
   speed 38400 baud; rows 35; columns 142; line = 0;

So rlogin invoked from rsh does not propagate the window size IFF rsh is
actually being named "rsh" (instead of being a hostname). This is the
majority of cases, though.

Maybe some signals are being disabled and not being restored?
