When you use the Rsh.exe utility to remotely execute commands on a UNIX
server, you are prompted for a password for authentication.
MORE INFORMATION
To work around this issue, you can prevent the remote shell (Rsh.exe)
utility from prompting for a password by configuring the Hosts.equiv file
on the UNIX server with the IP address and host name of the computer from
which you are running Rsh.exe.
See Hosts.equiv help on the UNIX host for more information.
