I remember seeing mail about a fix to keep rsh from silently ignoring
the "-x" option. Well, the fix was less than ideal. I use "rsh"
rather than rlogin: "rsh host command" for a rshell, and "rsh host"
for an rlogin. Using the "-x" login for an encrypted login:
imbrium# rsh scylla -x
rsh(kerberos): Encrypted rsh is not yet available.
imbrium# rlogin scylla -x
This rlogin session is using DES encryption for all data transmissions.
Before the fix, "rsh scylla -x" worked fine.
