You almost certainly don't want to use the rsh/rexec family of commands; ssh can do the same things, and is much more resistant to network sniffing. I'd create a DSA keypair, add the public key to root's authorized_keys file on the remote host, and then do 'ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] uname -a'. Unless you're doing something more involved than this, and really do have a clue about what you're doing, you should absolutely have a password on your private key, though you might find it convenient to use ssh-agent to save the key in memory. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
