Well, what happens is that krsh execs rlogin if no command is given. I.e., if you write "krsh localhost ls" for example it should work. rlogin is just a fallback for interactive sessions. I think there once was a Kerberised rlogin but I can't find it anymore. Oh, and I'm not sure you can use krsh to localhost at all because there's no host key for localhost. You need to use your computer's real domain name. > ( install rsh-client ) There's no point, because you don't get Kerberos if you use rlogin from rsh-client. The point of krsh is to execute a command on a remote server, not run an interactive session. If you want an interactive session, use ktelnet. I guess to fix this bug the fallback should be changed to ktelnet instead of rlogin. Better yet, use ssh with Kerberos support enabled. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
