Fine, it can be set to use NTLM between WIndows hosts. If that's the case then I stand corrected on that. Then again you can of course point to the simple instructions to do NTLM authentication using Solaris rsh to a Windows host (as the OP is trying to do). And the magic incantation that will make rsh encrypt its traffic so sensitive information (aside from authentication tokens) isn't sent in the clear.

OpenSSH is open, cross platform, under active development, and secure. Windows rsh is closed source, doesn't support secure authentication cross platform (without going through whatever arcane machinations are needed to get not-Windows talking NTLM), seems to be if not deprecated on the way out (going by this Vista document), and sends normal traffic in the clear.

Again: choose wisely.

The cake is a lie.
