Sorry if that has been discussed before:

	We have a Apollo Domain/OS Version SR10.3 host, with SYSTYPE
set to sys5.3.  I personally prefer bsd4.3, so I use a ~/.environ to
switch the global setting.  This works when logging in (telnet/rlogin),
but rsh leaves SYSTYPE set to sys5.3.  I tried to set SYSTYPE in my
.cshrc and noticed that on Apollos my .cshrc isn't executed by rsh!
Woops -

	-No path (WE use /usr/local/bin heavily) gets set.
	-The command ``rsh node_foo ls /usr/ucb'' laughs at me:
		`/usr/ucb -> ../$(SYSTYPE)/usr/ucb NOT FOUND'
	- No rdist(1) can update my apollo directories.
	- A lot of other things might be broken (I'm still searching).

	What do I wrong, I mean I can't believe that rsh doesnot
execute my .cshrc or does not see my .environ file!  And I do need the
commands in /usr/ucb accessible by rdist and rsh!  Setting SYSTYPE
globally to bsd4.3 could solve the rdist problem, but we must set it to
sys5.3 for other reasons (There is a MENTOR design package that needs
it, so they say).  And I do want my ~/.cshrc executed by rsh(1).

	Any help/pointer appreciated.
	Thanx pwo
