Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Folks, In 2.1.7 on (maybe 2.1.6 also?) the 'r' (rlogin, rsh, etc.) commands seem to always want to attempt some sort of Kerberos interaction even though I've not set Kerberos up. Su and rlogin produce annoying warning messages. Rsh hangs. For all of these commands, the '-K' flag will disable all Kerberos authentification attempts, but how may I make this the default? Some programs I rely on make calls to rsh, and, since the program doesn't know to include the -K flag, this problem cause the whole shebang to hang. Yes, I could hack code and recompile, but this seems a bit messy. A system-wide no-Kerberos-at-all setting somewhere would be much preferred. FYI, I'm using 2.2-970618-RELENG, trying rsh to other 2.2-970618-RELENG boxes and a 2.1.5-something box as well.
