  I don't any experience Berkeley r-command. So, I am not sure that this is
  a real problem..

  I have to FreeBSD 2.1.5 box, a.domain.name, b.domain.name.

  I have made .rhost file on a.domain.name and b.domain.name.
  The .rhost at a.domain.name says
     # .rhost for a.domain.name
     b.domain.name geoid

  The .rhost at b.domain.name says   
     # .rhost for b.domain.name
     a.domain.name geoid

  When I tried to rcp "test" from a, rcp causes error

     b:/user/geoid % rcp a:test .
     rcp: stty: : Invalid argument.
     b:/user/geoid % 

  I tried "rcp a.domain.name:test .", "rcp a:test test", "rcp a:test b:test"...

  rsh, and rlogin just run fine..

  What shall I do to use rcp ?

Seems to me that you have a stty command in your .cshrc (or .login ?) that
gets confused because the process created by the rcp command from the
remote machine does not have a tty as stdin.

In my .cshrc file, I always bracket commands that are typically only used in
a really interactive context by:

if (?$prompt)
then
#	Commands like stty, tset, set prompt=...
endif
