Take a look at sudo on the SunFreeware site. It allows specific users to
execute specific programs and scripts as root or another user. It is
much finer grained than using .rhosts which can open up all sorts of
security holes. 
We have used it to allow certain users to run only ufsdump & ufsrestore
as root.

Of course, this doesn't help when rexec'ing on an NT box.

[Jack Easley]

Has anyone tried the rexec/rsh daemon provided with Exeed?  I have'nt had the
need or time for these daemons, but Exceed's FTP daemon on NT works well.

Ataman ( www.ataman.com   ) provides an rsh daemon
for Windows NT that is recommend by Informix.

I have just purchased, but not yet received, it for use in porting FoxCTS to
NT. Perhaps it would be of benefit to you.

  p.s. I 
  think, that we have met in Dusseldorf on Leuna project (At that time as a 
  Contex employee).
Indeed 
we have, Robert. :) Oh well, it was a happy time back then.

BTW: 
Martin's still working in Leuna along with two guys (Tibor and Marian) from his 
new company.

Re: rexecing without password

I remotely execute programs from a SCO Unix machine on a AW51B with the
"rcmd " command ( on the SCO Unix machine).
What I had to do:

Create a   file  .rhosts( invisible file; you can see this with the command
"ls -al" )  in the user directories (on both machines)

What you have to put into that file :

in  my case : on the SCO machine :   AW51B  username
AW51B : specified in the host file on the SCOmachine (you can also use the
IP adress)
username : the username on the AW51B where the program is located.
  on the AW51B  SCOmachine username
SCOmachine is specified in the host file on the AW51B ; again, you can also
use the IP adress
username : username on the SCO machine

So, you only have to specify  a username, no password,although both users
on both machine are password protected.

Hope this helps you.

Hello,

does anyone know if it is possible to remotely  execute commands on other
hosts (either AW70 or AW51) without having to enter a  password?  My
application must be able to do this from either architecture,  all four
combinations (AW70->AW70, AW70->AW51, AW51->AW51 and  AW51->AW70).

RE: rexecing without password

[Stank, Robert]

Hallo 
Sascha.
I was 
faced to similar problem to execute commands on NT station from Unix 
AW51E.
Because NT doesn't have RSH server implemented, I had 
to install this software first.
On WWW 
you will find many examples. The one which I've used is downloaded 
from
http://www.denicomp.com";>www.denicomp.com and program is 
Wrshdnt.exe.
This 
program is installed as Service or as a single program.
For example, the following command 
would display a directory of the C: drive's root directory on your screen 
(assuming RSHD/NT's default configuration is being used): 


rsh winnt3 dir c:\\
Note the double backslashes 
(\\). If this rsh command is being issued from a Unix system, Unix uses 
the backslash as an "escape" character. To send a single backslash to RSHD/NT, 
you must specify two.
In case 
Unix-to-Unix or NT-to-Unix it is easier, while you don't need to install any 
software. It's only required to set remote rights for client in /.rhosts 
file.
I don't 
know what is the difference between normal NT and AW70 in that 
respect.
p.s. I 
think, that we have met in Dusseldorf on Leuna project (At that time as a Contex 
employee).

RE: rexecing without password

[Stear, Bo]

The invisible .rhosts file in the root directory must be created or modified
to allow remote access without passwords.
This file sets up a 'trusted' station that does not require passwords.
Create or modify the .rhosts file to contain the LETTERBUG name of all of
the stations that you want to be 'trusted'.
