I am running openserver5
a user runs a script that contains rcp -r etc etc

I then get an error message rcmd: socket: permission denied

Iknow its something to do with groups or someother dark magic

Check TA 107330 and a couple of others on this problem.

I have read the TA's still no joy
if I login as user and type in command
rlogin hostname
it logs me in as same user on local machine so I am I right to think the
problem is with the copy bit of rcp rather than the rlogin bit

dazed and confused

Mmmm,
rcp, and rcmd both use the shell port, whilst rlogin uses the login
port. /etc/services should have lines like:
login 513/tcp
shell 514/tcp cmd # no passwords used
and /etc/inetd.conf should have lines like:
shell stream tcp nowait NOLUID /etc/rshd rshd
login stream tcp nowait NOLUID /etc/rlogind rlogind

Does running 'rcmd hostname who' work ?
If so then does 'rcmd hostname "cat file" >file' work ?
If so then you should be able to use something like:
rcmd hostname "find files -print | cpio -oC 1024" | cpio -ivumdC 1024

If none of the above work then go back to the TA but also repeat the
chmod commands for /usr/bin/rcp and /usr/bin/rcmd. In particular
# chown root:bin /usr/bin/rlogin /usr/bin/rcmd /usr/bin/rcp
# chmod 4711 /usr/bin/rlogin /usr/bin/rcmd /usr/bin/rcp

Cheers
