RSH in VB 1

[DaRedMonkey]

Hello Everyone,

I created a VB GUI that people can use to RSH login to a UNIX server and run a script. When I was developing it on my PC it worked fine. It still does.

The problem is if other people try to use that GUI on their PC, they cannot connect to the UNIX server via RSH.

Background Info:
I have an account on the UNIX machine with the exact same login as my NT login on my PC. My PC name is in the .rhosts file on the UNIX server.

Other users also have identical login on the UNIX box as their PC. I made sure that their computer IP or name is in the .rhosts file on the UNIX server.

For some reason, it won't work for anyone else except for me. I created a setup package using VB's package and deployment wizard. So, when people use the setup package to install, it loaded and registered all the needed ocx and dll files.

Anyone has any idea as to why the weirdness? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I use RSH on my PC and it didn't ask for a password.

But, if I use REXEC then it ask me for a password everytime. Anyway to get around this password? Have it specify explicily?

I am trying to use RSH in my VBA app. Can you tell me how you did it? I resorted to using the shell command to run it, but I am sure there is a better way.
Thanks
