Using RSH on Windows 2003 server?

Thu Jul 26 20:03:00 GMT 2007

I realize that ssh is safer, but my boss said that he wants rsh because
that is what the rest of our computers are running, or something along
those lines. I even got ssh to work, and he still said that he wanted
rsh. Believe me, I was pushing for ssh. I now get a different answer,
however, when I run rsh commands ("Permission denied.") Is anyone
willing to help?
Thanks,
Adrian

 rsh is an inherently unsecure protocol. Don't use it. Don't use
 the excuse that this is on a local corporate network only. You
 have no idea who's sniffing on your network. Better use a secure
 protocol instead, like ssh. All services provided by the OBSOLETE
 rsh/rlogin/telnet interfaces are provided in a much more secure
 way by ssh.
