A little more info. rsh <server> works. rsh <server> <command> hangs! sons-clearcase:rsh sons-sc-cc No directory /us/adefaria! Logging in with home = "/". Last login: Wed May 10 20:31:46 from sons-clearcase.salira.com CYGWIN_NT-5.2 SONS-SC-CC 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28 i686 Cygwin WARNING: HOME directory did not exist! Logging in with HOME = /tmp adefaria AT SONS-SC-CC ~ $ logout rlogin: connection closed. sons-clearcase:rsh sons-sc-cc id This is very frustrating because my client relies on a command I wrote called "smake" which essentially boils down to: "rsh <server> -n cd <directory> && make" that is intended to perform the make on <server>. As you can see it relies on rsh, passwordless login to <server> executing a command. But with this new 2003 server rsh <server> <command> hangs!
