Kimberly, What is the format for the .rhosts file? I'm actually trying to work on something right as we speak.
If I remember correctly the file gets stored on the server that you want to connect to and the contents are just: ip username where username is the name that you are logged in as on the server your COMING from if that makes any sense. Is this correct? Cheers, Kev.

Granted, the first thing I do is setup my .rhosts file so that I can use it;-) But I have been on sites that will not allow it. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 6:41 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have been using the run_cmd code posted on the askTom site to run Unix commands from stored procedures. It works fine. However I am now trying to run a rsh command and always get 'permission denied' errors from the rsh commmand. The rsh command works fine when I run it from the command line(as oracle), or from a C external procedure, but not from RUN_CMD. Do I need to do something extra in java to enable running of rsh command?
