Using remsh

Tomek_1 — Tue, 17 Sep 2002 07:00:00 GMT

Hi,
I'd like to use remsh in my system and i want to set some env in profile but it works only when shell is /usr/bin/csh (i can set it in .cshrc). Where can i set it when shell is /usr/bin/sh.

Rgds.
Tom

Hi,

You have to modify security files for your need.

Please man .rhosts and hosts.equiv for more details.

Hi

This is a method to set enviroment for remsh if using sh (from man pages of remsh).

If the remote shell is /usr/bin/sh, the following command line sets up
the environment for the remote command before executing the remote
command:
remsh otherhost . .profile 2>&- \; command

Ok, but /usr/bin/csh doesn't need that and automatically executes .cshrc, and want it in /usr/bin/sh

.cshrc (csh) is not to .profile (sh). Instead, .login (csh) is to .profile (sh). The equivalent to .cshrc in korn and posix requires that the env var ENV be set to a valid file path.

Create the file, say, ~/.kshrc. Then try this:

remsh host 'ENV=~/.kshrc ksh -c ls'
