That is not true. You don't need to have a local user configured on the router in order to use rsh or rcp. It is only needed if you aren't doing some type of remote authentication like tacacs. I would however suggest that you avoid rsh family commands on your routers. If you do feel that it is essential to use them make sure to use tacacs and aaa acounting to log all command transactions. To not do so is to ask for trouble. Mark Tripod Exodus Communications ---- From: Jamie Rishaw <[email protected]> To: Todd R.

I kept getting Permission Denied without it. You need to make sure that in 'ip rcmd' that you have local-username defined to something that there is a 'username xxx' entry on the cisco for. In other words, if you have (sorry syntax is probably not correct): ip rcmd remote-host joebob lookingglass.yourcompany.com daemon enable you have to have a 'username joebob' entry on the cisco as well. local-username means "apply the permissions of local-username when this rsh matches" and remote-username is the userid of whatever your cgi-bin runs as.. if your web server is setuid "daemon" and cgi-bins are daemon, it will only work if you have 'daemon' as a remote-username in the ip rcmd command.
