The problem is that if there is a password assigned to the root on the other machine, I get "Permission Denied." If I remove the root password, it works fine. The question is--is there any way to avoid this, or to give rsh a password to use? I couldn't figure this one out from reading the man page... - Boris Burtin (6600bori@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu)
