Check out the code in /usr/jwz/public/rexec/ on spice.cs.cmu.edu, accessible by anonymous FTP. This code, by Eric Karlson, implements the rshell, rexec, and lpd protocols for the Explorer. > (net:rexec "teak" "pwd") Current login name is jwz for host teak. Type either password or loginname<space>password: jwz XXXXXXXX /usr2/users/jwz T Rshell is like rexec, but it doesn't require a password if the remote unix thinks the Explorer as a trusted host (I think). This code also redefines the TI printer driver to use LPD, which means that you can FINALLY print from a TI to a printer that is attached to a Unix machine. We have a LaserWriter attached to a Sun, and it works fine. The files /usr/jwz/public/_readme.text and _recent-changes.text have short descriptions of everything in this archive. I hadn't thought of using this to change the file protections; I'll give it a shot. Seems like an awful hack to have to open both an FTP connection *and* an rexec connection to write a file, but... Incidentally, I looked in to the "QUOTE UMASK" FTP server command, and it is not implemented in the FTP servers on any of the four unix machines I use. Maybe someday. -- Jamie
