Only got a few replies, several of which mentioned permissions on files in
/etc. It turns out that the problem was in the order of lines in
/etc/rc.config. This particular box has multiple IPs/hostnames and the
remote site was seeing the incorrect hostname and rejecting the connection.

> We recently upgraded one of our Alphas to Tru64 version 5.1B. Since then I
> can 'rsh' to the box but, if I try to 'rsh' with a command ('rsh xyz ls'),
> it hangs and eventually returns the error "socket: protocol failure in
> circuit setup." This error only happens when using rsh across our firewall
> but there are no restrictions in the access control for this box and it
> _does_ work across the firewall for other Alpha boxes. The machine in
> question will respond if the command is executed on another machine on the
> same side of the firewall. This had worked for us right up until we did
> the 5.1B upgrade (from 4.0G) so that pretty much rules the firewall out.
> Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
