Performance of rsh

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All

Just wanted to know if its normal for a rsh command to execute slower when the -l user option is used. If not, what can be causing it to be slower. I have normal authentication so no kerberos or other product .....

Thx

you are accessing remote machine using rsh. There can be multiple causes for the slow response:

  1. Network connectinvity
  2. Performance of remote server
  3. load on remote server and network traffic.
