I need the rsh deamon and server to run on SuSe 9.3, I downloaded the rpm and installed it under root.
But the other users can invoke it, how can I make it available for every user ?
Thanks

See user and group own the binary. If there is a new group for it, then add the relevant users to that group in /etc/group

Why do you want rsh? Insecure, etc. Better to use ssh if possible.

yes, but I don't need to enter password all the time, besides its for a beowulf cluster for parallel simulations. The setup is local among computers.

semi-ok then... but you can set up ssh to not have to use passwords if you use DSA / RSA keys... which is imho, a better solution.
