What is 'rshd'?
===============

   'rshd' is a daemon for the TCP/IP service 'rsh'. This service allows
some users you specified in the file 'AmiTCP:db/rsh.access' to execute
single commands on your computer from other hosts.

   'rshd' is freely distributable. No part of this archive is allowed

No Warranty
===========

   No warranties are made for this program. All use is at your own risk.
No liability or responsibility is assumed for any damages occured
during the usage of 'rshd'. You have been warned.


Usage
=====

   Now some knowledge will be assumed. If you don't know, what kind of
program AmiTCP represents, you should read AmiTCP's user's manual
before. The demo version 4.0 of AmiTCP (or a higher one) should be
available in greater public domain collections or on the AmiNet. Ask
your preferred Amiga dealer.  =:^)

If you want to install 'rshd', you have to do the following steps:

  1. Copy the file 'rshd' to 'AmiTCP:serv/'. This is the executable that
     will be started, if someone wants to use the 'rsh' service.

  2. Add the line 'shell stream tcp nowait root AmiTCP:serv/rshd' to
     file 'AmiTCP:db/inetd.conf'.

  3. Copy the file 'rsh.access' to 'AmiTCP:db/'. This file includes
     entries for the users which you want to allow the access to your
     computer. Only the users you find here are able to use the 'rsh'
     service on your computer.

  4. Add some entries to file 'AmiTCP:db/rsh.access'. You will find
     some example entries with their meanings in this file. 

That's it.  =;^)
