WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

Windows NT 3.1 includes the client versions of RCP, REXEC, RSH, and TELNET services. The server versions of these components are available through third-party vendors. The Connectivity Kit for Windows NT by Software Innovations Inc. includes server versions of RCP, RSHD, REXECD, RLOGIN, TELNETD and FINGER services. Please note that these services require at least one server; they do not work between two Windows NT workstations. For more information, call Software Innovations Inc. at (800) 946-6688.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The services described above are used to communicate with UNIX systems. A UNIX system must run what is called a daemon (a daemon is a background process in UNIX terminology) to respond to client requests. Utilities corresponding to daemons end with the letter “d”. For example, the daemon utility for TELNET is TELNETD. In order for these utilities to work in Windows NT, a Windows NT Service (which is similar to a Daemon) is required to provide server functionality.

The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by Software Innovations Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products’ performance or reliability.
