rsh into linux from cvs client?

[WeRule]

I am trying to rsh (remote shell) from an NT 4.0 system into our linux 6.2 CVS server. If I run a rsh command under NT, I get "Connection denied", "Cannot establish Connection". I have added the NT's host name and IP address into the /ect/hosts file on linux.

Why isn't it letting me in?

I'm not completely familiar with rsh, but to my understanding its a very very unsecure protocol and you need to enter the IP's you'll be coming from into a "trusted" list to connect. Anyway I don'y know much about rsh, but from what i've heard its a poor choice.

You should be able to telnet in too, but the best way to do it would be to install SSH, and use a ssh client until nt to telnet it. Go read the NHF on it at www.linuxnewbie.org if you need mor einfo.
