My original question:
Anyone managed to perform any rsh calls from a PC running NT to a
Compaq UNIX box ?
I'm running NT4 workstation and I'd like to rsh to a DEC UNIX 4.0E
box, the .rhosts and hosts.equiv settings seem to be OK (they
certainly work for all the other hosts named bar the PC) , and I've
got my PC named in the /etc/hosts file on the UNIX server. I keep
getting "permission denied", is there something I'm missing
?

W Mills suggested that I should give Exceed a try. This was indeed the
software I was attempting to do the rsh using the xstart command, but
to no avail. John Robens asked whether tcp_wrapper was causing the
permission to be denied, but we don't have tcp_wrapper on the
servers.
The honours go to Ofer Kesler (Ofer_Kessler_at_icomverse.com)
who mailed me a great liitle shareware program called winrsh. I
installed this and it works great. Many thanks to Ofer. No idea why
this version of rsh works and yet neithrt NT4's or Exceed's version
don't.
