| 687.1 | it works, but only with 3rd party software, as you have already discovered | TALER::WROBEL | Stan Wrobel | Thu Apr 03 1997 00:26 | 17 |
| RTR is designed to work with 'rsh', regardless of the platform. However, unless
some Unix-style version of this program is installed (we rely on UCX or TCPware
on OpenVMS), remote commands will fail.
As Piotr has discovered, using the rshd from the Windows NT Resource Kit will
work (I've never tried it, so I'm taking his word for it). What I HAVE tried
is a shareware version from a company called Ataman (http://www.ataman.com).
They also have a version that runs on Windows 95. The MKS Toolkit is another
3rd party vendor, but we have not tested that one.
We are currently evaluating our options in this area and are leaning toward
publishing a recommended vendor for this functionality. Does anyone else
out there have any experience using 'rsh' software on Windows NT or 95?
I would like to hear about the pros and cons of these various software
packages.

| 687.2 | you need both an rsh.exe to send commands and an rshd service to receive them | TALER::WROBEL | Stan Wrobel | Thu Apr 03 1997 03:40 | 15 |
| I don't think I pointed this out clearly enough in my last reply
to this Note, but you need to make sure that you can both send
and receive rsh commands.
To send: rsh.exe in your path should be sufficient. This is
already provided in the $SYSTEMROOT/System32 directory
on Windows NT V4.0 machines.
To receive: You need an rshd system service. The only one I
know of is that provided by Ataman. We use this for
testing RTR.
Hope that clarifies things for you.

| 687.3 | RTR doesn't work with RSHSVC | JACEK::SOBOLEWSKI | | Thu Apr 03 1997 10:18 | 5 |
| Sorry, probably I didn't describe it clearly. RTR doesn't work with
Microsoft RSHSVC. It works standalone, it means I can run any commands
remotely using RSH program. But I can't run RTR remote commands.
I will try Ataman version today.

| 687.4 | if rsh host rtr works then rtr /node=host should too | DECALP::HODGES | Philip Hodges | Thu Apr 10 1997 21:15 | 11 |
| If remote shell commands and rtr both work:
C:\> rsh otherhost rtr show rtr /ver
then rtr remote commands should also work:
C:\> rtr show rtr /ver /node=otherhost
otherwise there is a remote command problem in that rtr version.

| 687.5 | any special hints in configuration | JACEK::SOBOLEWSKI | | Wed Apr 16 1997 17:40 | 6 |
| We still have problem using remote commands. In fact it does not
work with Ataman. Are there any special issues according Ataman
configuration? We can run any remote DOS commands, but not from
RTR prompt.
