I know ssh is more secure, but I am interested in rsh/rlogin/rexec.. so i'm just trying it locally on my own few computers, just for the sake of knowing them.
rexec is working fine for me locally $ rexec 127.0.0.1 ls Password: _vimrc _vimrc a.a a.ag a.b $ rexec -l user 127.0.0.1 ls Password: _vimrc _vimrc a.a a.ag a.b But when I try it from another machine, it crashes after prompting for the Password. nmap from another machine shows 512/tcp open exec MAC Address: 00:0B:11:36:25:27 (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.) So the port is open. and rexec can run there as I ran it locally. But when I try It doesn't get past the password stage. $rexec -l user 192.168.56.42 ls Password: It gives no error it just waits forever after prompting for a password I until I do ctrl-c -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
