One added value is also that you don't have to worry about those .rhosts files and passwords rshd for some reason wants, as rexd will happily execute any correctly formed request for any user id != 0 from any host on the same TCP/IP network, with no overhead of authentication or silly things like the demanding of a password. That's open networking, for sure. //Jyrki
