The filer supports a command-line interface. You can access the command line
The console and telnet share a single session. Everything entered through telnet is echoed at the console; everything entered at the console is echoed to the telnet session
Only one telnet session can be open at a time.
To close a telnet session, press Ctrl-] to log out of the filer, then press Ctrl-D to log out of telnet.
Although telnet and the console share the same shell session, telnet and the console each prompt you for a password. Both the console and telnet connections use the same password.
The filer supports rsh with trusted remote hosts--those remote hosts listed in /etc/hosts.equiv on the root volume.
In addition to entering rsh commands manually, you can use a shell script or crontab file to enter some commands.
Note: You can use rsh only to enter filer commands. You cannot use rsh to remotely log in to the filer. To log in to a filer remotely from a host, use telnet.
The following table lists the filer commands that you can execute using rsh.
Ctrl-C aborts whatever command is being run from the console or a telnet session.
Because the console and telnet share a single session, a command entered at the console or through telnet can be terminated inadvertently from either location.
To ensure that a command is not terminated by Ctrl-C, start the command from a trusted host through rsh.
A system password is required to establish a console or telnet connection with the filer. The password was specified during setup.
You can change the system password at any time with the passwd command. When you enter the passwd command, the filer prompts you to enter the old password, if any, and then requests the new password twice.
For information about ways to increase filer security in addition to password protection, use the options described in "Using options command options to maintain filer security."
