I would like to write a script to edit (nedit) a file from one machine
to another without using rlogin?

Thanks

#!/usr/bin/ksh
PROGNAME=`basename $0`
HOST=$1
FILE=$2
rcp $HOST:$FILE /tmp/$PROGNAME.$$.cp
${EDITOR:-nedit} $HOST:$FILE /tmp/$PROGNAME.$$.cp
rcp /tmp/$PROGNAME.$$.cp $FILE:$HOST
rm -f /tmp/$PROGNAME.$$.cp

You can add usage checking, error checking and some options
(e.g. '-l' to specify alternative username for remote access,
'-s' to use scp instead of rcp), and some traps for doing tidyup
on signals, reset PATH, blah blah ....

Good idea. Use ssh instead.
