rsh from windows 2000

Is is not working?

I am kidding. I know that is why you ask question.

Put + in /etc/hosts.equiv and /.rhosts file and you will be able to do rsh from windows. That is security risk.

Hi Derrick,

how about using SSH (=SecureShell)?
HP delivers OpenSSH, these days, as a supported command!
And there are free implementations for OpenSSH for Windows, like from "CygWin" (that's the version I do use on W2K).

Just my $0.02,
Wodisch

Here is a simple way for example if you want to
login as root on the unix:

You have 1 hp-ux called "hp" and one PC with
Windows2000 called "pc".

1. On your hp put in /etc/hosts the ip-address
of pc
2. On your hp put in /.rhosts the entry
"pc username" where username is your windows2000 user.

That was it.
Now you can do on windows2000
rsh hp -l root -n ll
