Data that is read from the aux channel is the stderr of the command.  Data
that is written to the aux channel should be a signal number (integer, 4
bytes long) with which rexecd kill()'s the command.  Does your command
receive signals that you send on the aux port?  The version of both
rexec() and rcmd() on my BSD4.3 machine works fine.  You might want to
write a test program that has a signal routine set up.  Then you can send
its signal number on the aux channel and see if the signal routine is
invoked.
