Oh, and, I'm always thinking this should go without saying, but I'm probably wrong: <broken record> rsh is an inherently unsecure protocol. Don't use it. Don't use the excuse that this is on a local corporate network only. You have no idea who's sniffing on your network. Better use a secure protocol instead, like ssh. All services provided by the OBSOLETE rsh/rlogin/telnet interfaces are provided in a much more secure way by ssh. </broken record> Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
