>Description:
The rcp man page does not document the -f flag, which is what
the server side rcp runs. This in and of itself isn't a
problem, except -f is overloaded in some people's minds to mean
"forward tickets", causing some users to rcp -f and then wonder
why their rcp is hanging forever.

>How-To-Repeat:
rcp -f /etc/passwd root@host:/etc/passwd
Scratch head.

>Fix:
The rcp man page should list the -f flag along with some
explanatory text stating "this doesn't do what you think it
does".
