Hi all,
After some security incident on my network I decided to set up ssh. I think I have figured most things of interest to me out. However, before I had rsh in ascript to start my mail program which is another host through FvwmButtons. Now that I disabled rsh I tried to figure a way to do the same with slogin. I figured the way but it involves setting authorisation keys without passphrases. How bad is this ? Am I loosing all security ? Am I better off with rsh in this case ? And another related wuestion: When I disabled rsh I simply chmoded the programs 700. Now I can't use rsh as a simple user (although I can as root) even if I set the permissions as they used to be. I get a message saying rcmd: socket: Permission denied Obviously the programs to set sssh involve some secure sockets. Is there a workaround or not for this ??
