Nope. I _need_ to use rsh. That should say "clean" rsh above.
There's been a bunch of Kerberos stuff intgrated into the rsh/rlogin utilities which could be throwing it. If you're attempting to connect as a root user then IIRC there are some changes need to be made to some of the PAM configs too.
So I've noticed. I apears to try to run ksh and klogin first. There doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off.
Could you elaborate on this PAM stuff, I don't see any reference to it in the rsh man pages either.
However, as Salvatore suggested, you should be able to transparently replace RSH with SSH and it'd problably take the same, if not less, effort than sorting RSH.
If your backup process is a script then it should be easy enough to get in there and hack about with it.
If I could I would, but I can not. The old UNIX box that the tape drive is on does not support SSH. I _need_ the old style rsh. I know all about SSH.
I just want to make rsh work like it used to.
