sure, i've tested it immidietly, but.. at least on my
AIX it fails.. any ideas ?
here are my attempts :
skyblue% /bin/rlogin skyblue -l -froot
login: Not a recognized flag: r
3004-023 -"r" is not a valid option to login.
Connection closed.
skyblue% uname -nsvr
AIX skyblue 2 3
[using /bin/rlogin 'coz /usr/bin/rlogin and /usr/ucb/rlogin ]
[are both symbolic links to /bin/rlogin .. ]
should i (as an admin) be happy that bug is closed on AIX
version i use, or ... where am i wrong ?
thanx a lot in advance !
