Don't use rsh, it writes passwords on the back of postcards and posts it to every employee in the building, possibily outside it too. Or in other words: rsh DOES NOT encrypt passwords, meaning that EVERYONE on the same network(s) can read the password. Using it in scripts is a sure way to come to tears later, probably when your sysadmin turns rsh off without much warning. Then all your scripts break overnight :( Jonathan Paton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
