[LTP] [PATCH] rpc01: fix variable not initialized

[Petr Vorel]

Hi all,

[ Cc Steve and libtirpc-devel ML ]

Shouldn't be rc used for verification?

man callrpc(3):
int callrpc(...);
...
This routine returns zero if it succeeds, or the value of enum clnt_stat cast to
an integer if it fails. The routine clnt_perrno() is handy for translating
failure statuses into messages.

Kind regards,
Petr
