permission denied for NTFS network shares

[Genady Veytsman]

Unix/Linux systems are much more secure then NT but they do allow RSH
without password (using .rhosts).

Are you saying that there is no way whatsoever to have RSH without 
passwords? I need it for running scripts/programs on different NT 
machines. Interactive behaviour (login/password) will not allow that 
since you can't hardcode your passwords in scripts.

Thanks
