Summary. I want to sit at one computer and copy a file to /etc/cron.hourly on all the clients. Without physically walking to each client, I don't think I can do that.
Oh, wait a minute. Are you telling us that your other machines aren't networked, that you CAN'T copy the script with perl, ssh, rsync ... because, in the absence of a network you *HAVE* to physically walk there?
No. It's AD. We've just switched from nfs to cifs and we need to keep

NFS or IFS -- its still a remote mount, which was the point I'm trying to make
Network or not, I still have to go to each client to do something, whether it's install the 2 line script itself or install something which would install it for me.
This makes no sense. Did you fail to install ... ssh or rdekstop or vncserver or whatever when you first installed the systems?
It's something which is very straightforward. I want this: #!/bin/bash kinit -k cifs-user run every hour by doing the minimum of walking, leaning over machines, annoying people or else waiting till they've gone for lunch. You guys know what I'm on about. . ..
Is that all? I can't see why you need to dump a script in /etc/cron.hourly to do that. If it was a lcoal machine you'd do .. lets see crontab -l lists what's already in the crontab You want to append @hourly (kinit -k cifs-user) So issue the command echo "\@hourly \(kinit -k cifs-user\)" >> /var/spool/cron/root one each machine.
It comes down to me not having anything in place to do this centrally as I can with the LDAP'y things. from what folk are saying here, there's nothing in a default 12.3 install in place so I can just do it.
So, let me get this right; you never installed ssh, rcpy/rexec or any of its variants, rsync, the vnc tools, the rdesktop tools. You can't configure XDM, KDM or GDM to use remote login. Oh, right, the vnc tools aren't part of the default install in 12.3 and only one of graphical login would be, but ssh etc etc are all part of the default login. So is perl. I can't recall if the library for remote access is part of the default install. -- Vizzini: INCONCEIVABLE! Inigo: You keep using that word.
