Configuring RSH
Remote shell (RSH) allows users to execute OS commands on a remote host that runs the RSH
daemon.
Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003 are shipped with no RSH daemon. The RSH daemon must be
separately obtained and installed on the remote host.
The RSH daemon supports authentication of an RSH client by the username. Figure 80 sh
ows a
network diagram for the typical RSH application.
