Re: REXEC w/password

I looked at Windows - didn't see an API for this, but, then, it's been
awhile. I could see using ODBC or OLE-DB. There're also remote command
functions in Client Access that are usable in VB or VC++ or Delphi.

The Windows doc on rexec says that the remote host needs a .rhosts file in
the home directory of the requesting user - then they are authenticated
without password. I don't think the 400 does this.

Cheers
