in reply to module for 'r' commands?

I've found a "Net::Rexec" on CPAN
(as the name suggests is an implementation of rexec)
no rcp, sorry (and no scp, that would be really neat...:)

    I believe the rest of the r-commands (like rcp and rsh) are built on top of the rexec protocol. I know that when you turn off the rexec daemon, they all go away. {grin} Look at the source for the rcp command in Linux or BSD-something.

      Not necessarily true, as I can verify that Solaris will still allow rcp and rsh after commenting rexec out of the inetd.conf and doing a
      # kill -HUP $(ps -ef | grep "[i]netd" | awk '{print $2}')
      or am I missing something?

    thanks. that might do the trick. rcp should work with it, since one of the args for the method (i don't remember the name) is the 'r' command.
