I tried "rexec otheraw 'ls /' " here. According to snoop, it doesn't even send out any IP traffic (nor does it give any output from the ls). I would therefore have to second Alex's recommendation to use rsh instead, or other roll-yer-own alternatives like ssh. rexec lives in /usr/local, so I guess it is some sort of Foxboro utility and not the standard one from Unix.ls /sbin/r* IP traffic will flow over the second ethernet if you use an IP address on the second ethernet as a target. We define an additional set of hostnames, like 01aw23a, 02aw13a for AWs 01AW23 and 02AW13, respectively. These hostnames map to IP addresses on a different network from the nodebus, e.g., 172.16.1.23, 172.16.1.13, either in every machine's /etc/hosts or in DNS. We can then do "rsh 01aw23a" from 02AW13 and it will go over the second ethernet rather than the nodebus.

In some scripts we are using rexec on our AWs. Unfortunately does the Foxboro rexec only use the Nodebus (first Ethernet connection) Another Problem is that the Foxboro rexec requires an X-Client (Port 6000) to work with "normal" Speed ... A simple "rexec AWLBUG /bin/ls" took nearly one Minute (If you don't believe - try it) Now we are looking for a solution to use rexec on the second-Ethernet. VSM21U# which rexec /usr/local/rexec VSM21U# what /usr/local/rexec /usr/local/rexec: dsserver.c 7.2 Foxboro Company 8/15/90 sf_server.c 1.1 50 Series I/A, Foxboro Company 9/24/91 dsamap.c 2.1 vc iserve.c 7.2 I/A , Foxboro Co. 8/15/90 .... How can we use the original Solaris rexec? Any Ideas?
