Hi,
what are the differences among "ssh", "rlogin" and "telnet"? Which one
is better and when are each of these are recommended to use?
Thanks.

Its hard to use telnet in order to test a smtp server, I really prefer telnetQuote:>> what are the differences among "ssh", "rlogin" and "telnet"? Which one

BTW, mconnect is better for testing smtp servers (or any of the
other internet protocols which use the telnet NVT in alternate
command-response mode, such as NNTP).

According to the umm..."documentation," mconnect wouldn't be a lot of use for
trying multiple SMTP commands in a single session. Telnet is very useful
for this.
than take a look for nc (netcat), it a lot easyer to script.Quote:>>>what are the differences among "ssh", "rlogin" and "telnet"? Which one

struct servent *serv;
serv=getservbyname("exec","tcp");

I also can't get rexec to function. It compiles ok....
Thanks
