rcmd in glibc 2.1.90

[Jakub Jelinek]

Hi!

When I try with glibc 2.1.90
rlogin foobar
I get

rcmd: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

error message printed on the screen.
IMHO glibc 2.1.x error message was much better:

foobar: Unknown host

This patch changes this, alternatively we could just kill the rcmd:
getaddrinfo: and replace it with %s: (*ahost).

Also, I've noticed that if the local domain is not specified in search in
/etc/resolv.conf, then getaddrinfo does not resolve dotless names while it
did in glibc 2.1.
Say I'm on
foo.mydomain.cz
my /etc/resolv.conf does not contain any search line.
With glibc 2.1
rlogin bar
works (provided bar.mydomain.cz exists), while with 2.2 it fails.
Is that desired behaviour or just a bug?
