Will 'rsh' be a good substitute? With .rhosts on the remote host set up properly, it is very easy to access remote machine via rsh. =20 Kenneth Tan On Thu, 16 Jul 1998, Joseph Beaman wrote: >=20 > I would like to automate a telnet session via perl, or at the very least > with a shell script.

Think of several clients sharing the same /usr directory via NFS, but needing different X servers. The double linking allows to use different servers on different machines. Your solution would imply the same X server for all clients. > -- Arun Khan -o) Hubert /\\ _\_v - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============0624762297695408230==-- From bb@suse.com Fri Jul 17 17:31:41 1998 From: bb@suse.com To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [S.u.S.E.

This method allows /usr to be mounted read only from several machines in a LAN. Every 'client' has it's own /var filesysten, so the proper X server can be set without changing anything on the global /usr.
