> I'm not familiar at all with this REXEC/RSHELL. How would that work?

They're  age-old  standard  ways  of  executing  shell  commands (like
running ADDUSER.EXE) on a remote machine.

You would run REXEC on the client, and REXECD on the server:

These  are  MKS'  products,  a very respected component vendor. Almost
every TCP/IP component suite offers these modules.

Note  that the R* utilities use plain-text authentication, so you need
to  take  proper  precautions.  They are faster than any other method,
though.  There  are  encrypted  alternatives,  or  you could use Win2K
Telnet with NTLM.
