Given the security issues that ssh addresses it is important to get ssh working between both boxes. rlogin and ssh can coexist and at some point rlogin can be turned off when ssh functions and training fully match the needs. Root or any user with root or wheel privileges should only use ssh. If I recall correctly, at one point a couple years ago there was an ssh bug that got lots of folks to dust off rsh and telnet because they were 'more secure' than the buggy ssh. It did not take long to get a fix but for a week or so ssh was a risk. Keep options handy but keep the old eye on the goal. User inertia is real, still constant education can make changes. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage. mitch48-at-sbcglobal-dot-net
