Hi Lionel, unless you have a closed private network REXEC and RSH while functional leave your system wide open to attack, consider the secure shell ssh instead.

I've been trying to think of a way to automate the shutdown of my linux servers under z/vm and the thought of using rexec or rsh came to mind. Before doing so what is the collective wisdom of the list? Is this a worthwhile option to pursue? Are there any pros/cons to one or the other? Any tips on enabling or controlling? thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B. Dyck, Systems Software Lead Kaiser Permanente Information Technology 25 N.
