rcp "where are you" problem

Does anyone remember what the "where are you" message
means when you run rcp and it fails.

There's on particular redhat 5.2 machine that I cannot currently
"rcp" to. I can rcp out of it to other machines, and the the
other linux machine rcps in and out okay.

I remember I often used to have this problem in the old days with
sparc stations.
But this is a problem which just suddenly developed after "rcp"
worked okay for 3 months.

I seem to remember it's something simple, but it's not in
the "man rcp" manual, and the string "where are you"
does not appear in any man1 manual.
