Remote tape access fails for tar-1.13.

[Dale Wiles]

  Remote tape access fails for tar-1.13 under Solaris 7,8 and Slakware Linux
8.0.  All were compiled under various versions of gcc.

  If I run the command 'tar -tvf address@hidden:foo.tar' Under solaris,
I get the error message 'sh: unknown host'.

  Under Slakware I get:
    rcmd: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

  This occurs because in 'rtapelib.c:rmt_open__', the final execl command is:
    /usr/ucb/rsh sh host -l user /exec/rmt

  I believe remote_shell_basename should be 'rsh', not 'sh'.

  I belive the bug is at rtapelib.c:rmt_open__:418, where you increment
remote_shell_basename.

  If you need more information, let me know.
