Thanks guys.
I am not to sure about using rsync, i’ll look in to it. As far as using rsh, i think its the only way Star-ccm can communicate between the machines and the software suppliers also told me that I need to setup passwordless rsh for this reason so i guess theres no getting away from it.
The thing that bothers me the most is that al the computers are on a campus network so its not the securest of networks. Luckily, all the IP’s on the machines are static, so i guess that adds a bit af extra security.
I still cant find the .rhost file so it seams as though i’ll have to create it.
One question, should the machines IP, on which these files are stored, also be included in the Hosts, hosts.equiv and .rhosts files?
Thanks again
