rsh witl -l option

Hi,
I have tried to use "rsh" with option -l in order to allow root to
execute a command as userX in another host but it doesn't work.
I have tried with other unix, the problem is the same, i.e the operation
is refused.
Had anybody faced that ptoblem ?
Thanks for help

Well, did you actually allow rsh connections on the remote host? A connection or operation refused is usually the most generic type of error that basically tells you the service is not enabled on the recieving end..

Hi ,
First of all Thanks for the answer.
"rsh" works when the same user is concerned means
when userA on machine A execute a command as userA on
machine B.
What i am trying to do is to allow root to execute a command as userA
on machine B.
Thanks
