Whenever I connect to courier via imap, using pine 4.21, this shows up in /var/log/messages!

Jul 23 13:52:27 cornfed rshd[92216]: auth_pam: Permission denied Jul 23 13:52:27 cornfed rshd[92216]: PAM authentication failed

Here's a snip from my pam.conf, and I didn't touch this, it comes default this way: # r-utils are broken; ensure this doesn't bother folk rshd auth sufficient pam_deny.so

I think that explains why pine is being denied via rshd, but why is pine doing anything via rsh?? Also, I don't notice anything funny happening in pine, fact is I never would have known pine was trying rsh if I didn't watch the logs.

Edit .pinerc, set "rsh-open-timeout" to 0.

If you want to make this change effective for all users, set this variable in /usr/local/etc/pine.conf or wherever your global Pine configuration file is located.

I stuck it in pine's global (I love that file), anyhow, it worked, Thanks.
