RE: [PHP] Solution to display the results of an exec/system + rsh command

Hi guys, With the help of a guy, we found the solution. So for information, this is what you have to do to succeed such kind of command. You have to use the same username in your webserver as the name of the account in the remote machine you're trying to access with rsh. typically if you want to do this: $res = exec("rsh x.x.x.x -l TOTO ping x.x.x.x"); echo "<pre> $res </pre>"; The webserver user should be TOTO (you can change it in your httpd.conf file on Linux box) hope it will help! fred -----Message d'origine----- De : Chris W.
