Use the REXEC feature to send a command to execute on a remote
host that does not have, or might not have, the authentication
information that RSH requires. The remote system's authentication
files are not used.
Along with the remote command, REXEC sends the password you
specify on the command line to the remote host. This password
is used for security checking.
The Remote Shell program (RSH) invokes REXEC. To use REXEC, enter
RSH /PASSWORD. REXEC then functions like the RSH command.
1 – Examples
The following example shows how to provide password information
for the RSH command, thereby invoking the REXEC feature on the
remote host.
From host GRANT, user STANTON enters the file tops.holdings that
resides on UNIX host oster. Because STANTON is not listed in
oster's authentication files, user STANTON must use the REXEC
feature and supply the /USER_NAME and /PASSWORD qualifiers.
Quotation marks are required around the password because it
contains uppercase letters.
$ RSH OSTER /USER_NAME=STANTON /PASSWORD="KeepingSaneJoy" -
