#Amiga TCP/IP
6 messages in this thread
A BSD socket library is available to developers from CATS.
Supporting remote logins should be as simple as hacking the code which
support sessions from AUX: to use sockets. I think someone on BIX is doing
that.
I think rsh works as it should on the Amiga. On some Unix systems, an rsh
with no commands calls rlogin. All we really need is something like the
AUX: handler that accepts incoming rlogin and telnet sessions.

Martin! I didn't realize you were on CIS. Great to see you here!
I agree with you about rsh, and that it runs as it should on the Amiga. I
was just pointing out the main difference between rlogin and rsh to Ethan,
who was asking about it.
I'll drop you a line via e-mail asking how to go about getting the so,-,;
library.

Martin,
I believe you and others are talking about 'remsh' not 'rsh'. At
least on our AT&T machines, 'rsh' is the restricted shell, 'remsh' is the
tcp/ip remote shell.
Don
For AT&T systems, that is correct. It's the same way on our systems at
work. Folks that have used BSD UNIX know that program as "rsh". It's also
called "rsh" on the Amiga TCP/IP distribution. (I really hate the fact
that they (AT&T) named it that way, but I guess that's all they could do
since they already had an "rsh").
Steve
Steve,
What does BSD use for it's restricted shell then? Or doesn't it
have one?
Don
I'm not sure that BSD has a restricted shell.
