I think you are wright, Dave. I have realized i'm not using cygwin rsh ( it's reflection's one!!! ) What is the path of cygwin's rsh? I can't find it at the bin directory. At 12:51 21/01/2004 +0000, Dave Korn wrote:

1) This isn't a cygwin problem.
2) The error message makes it perfectly clear that RSH expects an environment variable called NETUSER, not USER or USERNAME.
3) It's still not a cygwin problem.
4) Although when you're using rsh the username on the remote system is usually the same as your local username, sometimes you'll want to act as a different user on the remote system. That's why rsh uses a different variable rather than USER or USERNAME.
5) It's still not a cygwin problem.
6) Did you read the man page for rsh "man rsh", the info page "info rsh", or the usage info "rsh --help" before you posted this?
7) It's still *soooooo* not a cygwin problem. The cygwin version of rsh doesn't even contain the text for that error message you just described. Are you using MKS or SFU rsh, perhaps?
