Use secure shell (openssh), the r protocols are deprecated due to security concerns. Secure shell is a drop in replacement for the r protocols (mostly) with much better security and has become the standard.
There is a secure shell deamon that can be run under Cygwin and should do what you want. Brett On 6/3/06, Freddy Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
This is a question that I am sure many folks have the answer to, because I can imagine that people do this all the time. I just have never had the time to get it set up: I wan't to be able to rlogin (and rshd) from my Unix machine to my WinXP machine. I have cygwin installed on the WinXP machine so I want to rlogin to the home directory in my cygwin install dir and run a shell (bourne shell or c-shell). I also want to be able to run 'rsh' from my unix machine to execute commands in my cygwin home directory. But, currently I cannot do that because there are no rshd, rlogind, or telnet daemons in cygwin. I did try to enable the telnet service in Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services and I added Telnet port 23 to the Windows Firewall Exception list. But that just allows me to telnet into the WinXP machine and get a batch cmd session. I really want to be able to rsh to the WinXP machine and have full access to everything in the cygwin "world" on the machine. I know that the "Unix Services for Windows" product from Microsoft has the rsh and rlogind programs, but someone told me that it will cause problems to have "Unix Services for Windows" installed together with cygwin, so I hesitate installing it. So my question is: Is there a cygwin package that I can download and install that will give me what I want? Help and advise will be appreciated.
