>Description:
/rescue has rcp which is useless without rsh.
The only way you can retrieve remote files using /rescue
is via mount_nfs
It may also be useful to another remote file retrieval tool, e.g. ftp
>How-To-Repeat:
Kill your /lib/libc.so* file. Have fun trying to retrieve your system.
>Fix:
Not sure. Either rcp needs an option (or env var) to override the
hardcoded rsh command or the path needs to be changed to /rescue/rsh
during the rescue tool build process
