9533.0. "rshd remuser too long" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Joe Watzko) Thu Apr 17 1997 07:14

Hi,

from rshd man page:

   5.  A null-terminated username of at most 16 bytes is retrieved on the
       initial socket.  This username is interpreted as the user identity on
       the client 's machine.

   6.  A null-terminated username of at most 16 bytes is retrieved on the
       initial socket.  This username is interpreted as a user identity to
       use on the server's machine.

-----------------

	But most i can get is a username of 14 characters,
	else:
	hostname: remuser too long

	This was tested with Digital UNIX V4.0a and 
	WinNT V4.0 as rsh client.

Where is the culprit,

Regards Joe
