rshd - remote shell daemon
The filer has UNIX-compatible remote shell capability that enables you to execute certain filer commands from a UNIX command line or shell script. It also enables you to use a remote shell application on a PC to enter filer commands.
The /etc/hosts.equiv file controls which hosts have access to the filer remote shell. The hosts listed in the /etc/hosts.equiv file are called trusted hosts. The filer only accepts commands from the root user if the commands are entered through a remote shell.
To see a list of filer commands that can be executed through rsh, enter the rsh ? command on the trusted host.
The following example shows how to enter the version command from a trusted host named ``adminhost'' through a remote shell:
adminhost% rsh -l root toaster version
na_hosts.equiv(5)
