port usage of "Remsh" command

We are using the Remsh command to a system via a firewall and are continuing to have problems in the connection. It seems as if the Remsh command is using different ports all the time.
Can somebody tell me which ports the Remsh command is using?

Re: port usage of "Remsh" command

Hi
This I fond in the man pages for "remshd".

The server checks the client's source port. If the port is
not in the range 512 through 1023, the server aborts the
connection.

Re: port usage of "Remsh" command

Hi,
you will have to open high numbered ports in the firewall for remsh to work . This is a
big security issue to the network. Dangerous !!

Think about using SSH.
