Or even a symlink from the ssh scp to rsh and rcp.

We ONLY use ssh at our site - no telnet, no ftp and certainly no r commands.

There is nothing I know of that requires Oracle to use r commands - as far as I know, Oracle doesn't even know anything about r commands.

There are only two reasons I can think of why your developers might think only r commands will work

1. they have lots of scripts which have r commands hard coded in them. The symlink solution will likely overcome this if properly configured.
2. Your developers just don't understand ssh/scp and are under some misconception on why they won[t work.

I'd suggest finding out exactly what their reasoning is and see how valid it is. Maybe post their reason here and we can either support or discount it.
