It seems you are right. I tried to use RSH without ".rhosts", supplying password and then all the shares were accessible.
Now I just need to find a way to supply a password noninteractivly.
I know that "rexec" allows to do it on unix, but there is no "rexec" in cygwin.
Thanks

Unix/Linux systems are much more secure then NT but they do allow RSH without password (using .rhosts).Are you saying that there is no way whatsoever to have RSH without passwords? I need it for running scripts/programs on different NT machines. Interactive behaviour (login/password) will not allow that since you can't hardcode your passwords in scripts.AFAIK you'll need to supply a password at some point. You could try using expect or something similar to pass the password through. Chris
