The full remote shell service typically consists of two parts (the
remsh client which allows a user on this machine to access remote
hosts and the remshd server which allows remsh clients on
other hosts to access the local host). Only the remsh client
functionality has been implemented on the MPE/iX system.
The UNIX version of the remsh client has an optional -n
parameter that tells the client to not read from STDIN. Due to
differences between MPE I/O and UNIX I/O the -n parameter has been
hard coded into the MPE/iX client.
The HP-UX remsh client also allows rlogin and rexec functionality.
Since the MPE/iX implementation was designed to address the needs of users
attempting to access UNIX commands/scripts from stream jobs, we chose not to
implement any feature needing interactive input with the remote system.
