SUMMARY: how to prevent password echoing for rsh'ed sudo

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Hi,

The responses received on my query on how to prevent echoing of the
password on an rsh'ed sudo command gave the following solutions:

- Use "ssh" (Secure shell package)
- rsh an xterm and run the desired sudo command inside of it
- Do an stty -echo before running the sudo command.

Note that when your rsh a command, the command does not have a
tty associated with it. If you run an xterm, this does provide
a terminal environment.

If one does
rsh remotehost tty
the output will say "not a tty"

Thanks to all those who responded

Saurabh
