Can anyone tell me how to bring up a shell tool on a remote machine under
Openwindows/Xview/X without actually loging in.

	rlogin remotemachine
	...

	shelltool -display localmachine &
	logout

does what I want, but

	rsh remotemachine "shelltool -display localmachine &"

fails (because of stdin/stdout getting wrongly connected I think, although
using the 'background' program from the rice archive doesn't help).

Suggestions?
