Steven,

re: /etc/hosts.allow not setup

OK.

Hmm...  The permissions on /home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh are 775.  Since
'mcadde' is in the same group as 'mcidas', it should be executable by
the remote server as it runs as 'mcadde'.  mcservsh execs mcserv which
also has 775 permissions.  I am curious about exactly what is not
executable!?

>Probably the reason...

If it is, I don't understand it.
