Can you expand on that? What harm happens if the command "just works" in the presence of Kerberos? Or, rather, why does the user need to configure the system manually in order to get it to do what it should have done in the first place? This doesn't look at all analogous to the telnet "-a" option to me. That one is quite different because transferring the user name is typically *not* part of the protocol -- where it *is* part of the expected protocol for the r-commands. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
