Please don't try to force *your* security requirements on other people. :P Shaw Shaw i sometimes think that rlogin rsh rcp might be better to use on my well firewalled LAN because basically there is no one there to sniff my passwords or data, and why burden my machines with encryptng and unencrypting the traffic. Then i see the sense of not getting into bad habits, of making my scripts safe to use across the internet in case I ever want to use them beyond the lan, and maintaining only openssh instead of openssh and rsh, and I abandon the thought as an idle fancying. If you are a newbie and read somewhere that rsh and friends is a good way of doing stuff across a lan, then read something more up to date and forget it. If you know what you are doing and know the security implications of your actions (and can stand the criticisms of others ) then go for it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] rlogin ebuild
Is there an ebuild available for rlogin? I haven't been able to find one using emerge --search or equery. What am I missing? Thanks in advance, Shaw -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Any tips about how one might go about finding the package that contains a certain file when emerge --search and equery belongs fail to find anything? Shaw -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
