Perhaps it is just -current but:

oxygen# rsh -c
rsh: illegal option -- c
oxygen# rcp -c
rcp: illegal option -- c

The one machine i have running -stable does not have the 'r' tools installed
so I can't test but I do have the manual pages for each command and neither
rcp nor rsh have this "-c" option documented.  Could you explain what it is
supposed to do?
