I realize that ssh is safer, but my boss said that he wants rsh because
that is what the rest of our computers are running, or something along
those lines. I even got ssh to work, and he still said that he wanted
rsh. Believe me, I was pushing for ssh. I now get a different answer,
however, when I run rsh commands ("Permission denied.") Is anyone
willing to help?
Thanks,

I'm trying to rsh into a computer that is running Windows 2003 server,
but I get the error "No Remote Directory." I can, however, ftp and
telnet into that same box, and when I ping it, the test comes back as
successful. Anyone have any ideas?

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.

At my former place of employment(>8 years ago) I once typed 'rsh tim'
and found myself logged in as the CIO, with root privilege. I think
this should indicate why the <broken record> response above had already
gained some adherents.
