Re: Configure ssh to behave like rsh. How?
I was interested in this for a slightly different reason --- I would like to allow some users to ssh into my machine so they can port forward but not allow them to actually login to the machine. I found http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=200206210808.g5L88SJ15420_splat.grant.org%40ns.sol.net to work.

I have removed the r-commands, and want to use the ssh command family instead. Although 'ssh slaveN command' works fine, this also allows login to the slave PC, simply by typing 'ssh slaveN'. How can I configure sshd, so that it will allow remote command execution, but will refuse logins?

Thats very surprising. The fist option above has worked for ever and the second at least for a decade or so. Can you post some output? admittedly, both suggestions are new to me and i'm likely 'misreading' the statements. I should think so. anyhoo, i've always had success deleting directories with: rm -r rm -rf # if i'm lazy and want to save myself a 'y' and an 'enter', or simply don't feel like being second guessed. :) Neither of this would work by itself, because the file argument to rm is not optional. What argument would you pass? epi Also, if I'm in / and want to tar the entire filesystem EXCLUDING the directory jail ( /jail ) what would be the switches to tar? Lookup --exclude in man tar.
