Yes, but then how does one ever eradicate "those antiquated and unsafe protocols" from the system? Is there a way to make rmt work without rshd? There will be a lot of unexpected breakage I'm sure. Perhaps it should be documented what normal use programs (like rdump/rrestore/tar using rmt) will break if you turn off certain services that are currently on by default. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
