You shouldn't make your shares public. But then you can't use them with rsh also. Use telnet or ssh with password authentication then. The problem is that when rsh/ssh are running under SYSTEM account and you're logging in without password authentication, no real logon takes place but just a user context switch. Without the password, how should the application inside of your session know how to authenticate against servers? That's the whole problem.
