Hi!


% 
% On my 7.2 redhat systems, I am seeing something odd in that when I send an
% ls command to another
% machine, ie.

Indeed.


% rsh anothermachine ls
% the output is that for the root userid, instead of my 'regular',
% non-privileged id.

How do you mean?


% If I explicitly specify ~ in the ls command, ie
% rsh anothermachine "ls ~"
% I get the expected results listing contents of my home directory.

OK.


% 
% Not sure what I've done wrong but if someone could provide a clue or 2, I'd
% appreciate it.

Well, some more detail would help greatly.  For starters, what do you get
when you try

  rsh anothermachine "uname -a ; id ; pwd"

in the same manner?
