How can I run a UNIX command in Windows2000?

[Fragon]

Not using telnet,just like rexec in UNIX/linux.
Thanks.

Hi,
with the resource kit come some tools like rsh, that is the equivalent of remsh in hpux.


There are also lot of tools that can help you, even aunix emulator that integrates in win.

it is free.

http://www.cygwin.com


You can have the power on unix on window servers, or just simply what you may need, say awk, vi, grep, remsh....

Hi HPUX (made up name I think!),

One word springs to mind - SSH.

Try following this link for details:

OK, I use rsh in Windows2000 to make a test :
c:\>rsh 192.168.100.1 -l root echo "DOS" >dos.txt
But I got an error like this:
192.168.100.1: remshd: Login incorrect.
rsh: can't establish connection

So, I wonder if I must setup some entries in .rhosts in HP-UX? Or are there any other solutions? I won't use any 3rd tools at all.

Thanks in advances.

Have a look at the latest SFU 3.0 it comes with over 1900 ported unix tools.

It even teaches windows to be case sensitive.

so yes you can have 2 files with the same name in one directory.

/dev/fs/C/myfile & /dev/fs/C/Myfile

If you setup your ~/.rhosts file for that user, then it should work using rsh. Without having to setup the .rhosts file, try rexec instead. You should be prompted for the user's password if you use rexec.

c:\rexec 192.168.100.1 -l root -n ls ~/

Hope this helps,

[Fragon]

Thank Denver very much!
I use rexec instead, it work ok with the user's password,but still fail using rsh!
I setup ~/.rhosts like this:
192.168.100.13 root

In 192.168.100.13(windows) I do:
C:\>rsh 192.168.100.1 -l root -n ls
192.168.100.1: remshd: Login incorrect.
rsh:can't establish connection

How could I ...

Thank everybody gave useful advice!

there is one more tool Avilable with Micosoft "Services for unix" . If you local that , it will solve your problem. Some sites are providing free download for this.

MS SFU are not free of charge but has evaluational period.See here:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,54081,00.asp
I though would go for Gygwin as it's free and
includes everythin (even like Apache or ssh running under it).R-commands are sysadmin best
friend and of most problematic.hp-ux Rexec for example doesn't care of console (/etc/securetty) settings and so on.
I'm using cygwin for a ^3 years,same time the Microsoft added unix api support to nt I guess,and was very pleased.However if you go for LDAP-Active Directory integration kinda things (with hp-ux) you'd need MS SFU.
Last one ( :) ) I once saw Brocade's remshd binary for pulling firmware to their switches and played with it a bit.Serves the purpose.
Also tried some commands from WinNT resource kit,gnu-like grep,remsh etc.
And really neat one is from AT&T labs:

Hello!

Add to your ~/.rhosts +
then try to made rsh,
what you added is ip and user root
but on the windows you not using root user
so add + and check it.

[Fragon]

Hi Caesar,
You should get 20 points!
Once success, I can make a further test for certain user!!!

[Massimo Bianchi]

Hi,
since this question is coming back, i will add a little note to Caesar hint.


Adding a + in the .rhosts is a big secutiry risk, because any user can login from that host.

After addig the plus,
check with

"who -HRT" or in the syslog, to see how the user presents.

and finally remove the plus !

[Fragon]

Hi Massimo and other guys,thank you very much again!
I make a test for certain users now!
I change the .rhosts in HP-UX side (hostux) like this:
hostwin +
From hostwin(Windows2000 OS), I type:
c:\> rsh hostux -l root sleep 10
It runs OK!
But when I type:
c:\>rsh hostux -l zhou sleep 10
I get the error:
remshd: login incorrect.

I have the account root & zhou in both UNIX & Windows2000 side and keep their passwords same!

What's the reason?

-ux

[Caesar_3]

Hello!

Create in the home dir of user zhou .rhosts like in the home dir of root you made.
That should help because you didn't allow to
user zhou access without password.

Caesar

[Fragon]

Hi there, thanks!
I did in /home/zhou/.rhosts!!!

Between HP-UX & HP-UX, all work fine; but between HP-UX&Windows, only "+" ok!

Amazing...

I know this is late but there are a few packages that give UNIX commands in Windows.

We just used a windows version of sed to change the configuration of our end user telnet clients to connect to our new production server which goes into production on August 4.

Hi,

I'm actually getting exactly the same problem. Unless I use in hosts.equiv

donald +

I can't do a

remsh mickey -l me ls

from a hpux 11.0 box, or a win2k box, or a linux box.

Cheers
