running shell command on remote machine with ssh

hi guru,

i want to run shell commands on a remote Solaris machine. Before i was running this command with the rsh utility. But now we installed ssh on both machine. so i can't use rsh. and i am looking for a way to run shell commands on remote machine. because of ssh, these machine now aren't trusted. is there a way made these machines trusted in ssh? and is there a way running unix command on a remote solaris machine,

thanks in advance,

I find this a very odd question. Although I dont know what rsh is. But ssh is like telnet, if you are used to windows. But its alot more secure. You login with your username and pass, and just type in the commands.
$uname -a
$whoami
or whatever..

Installing ssh doesn't prevent per itself to still use rsh.

Yes, ssh doesn't honor rhosts.

No, but you can have user account trusted by using private and public keys.

Hopefully yes, and ssh is one of them.
