Hello there:

my problem is that i want to rsh to remote server "NETTAPP" without making any one know my root password....
so i wrote a small c code and compile it to get a binary file to run it to do the rsh command.......
that's good but when i do vi this binary file from shell the rsh command appeared with the username and password!!!!!!!!!!!
here is the c code:

int main(void)
{
if(!fork())
system("rsh ip -l usernameassword command> /some/where/file.txt");
return 0;
}


could any body help me that i do not want my root password be appeared any more........

thanks alot

Yes, use ssh, the secure replacement for rsh !
Your data on the net is encrypted and with your key on the other computer you can login password free !

hi fluppi:

my goal is to create executable file to rub some rsh commands remotly at certain times using crontab ot "at" command..........
i created that eceutable file by the c code above but the problem is when i open that executable file with vim or kwrite my username and passwd is appeared!!!!!!! i dont know how u can try this code if u unbelieve me...
my q is how can i rewrite this code to do my needed job without this bug.

thanks 4 u.....

i just typed out loads of nifty techniques for hiding your password then realised it was pointless because your running another program you need to call exec somewhere so if someone runs strace -f your_program | grep rsh they'll see the entire command line, password and all.
