That can be done with SSH and FreeBSD come with OpenSSH already :) If you set up your machines in such a way that `user' from machine `src' can login as `user2' of machine `dest', without giving a password (this requires RSA key setup), you can always do from machine `src': src:user> ssh -l user2 dest '/path/to/some/command arg1 arg2' and have /path/to/some/command execute on machine `dest' as the user `user2', with arg1 and arg2 being it's command-line arguments. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
