DOCUMENT:Q102561  18-AUG-1993  [W_NT]
TITLE   :UNIX Cannot Run RCT or REXEC with Windows NT
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When a UNIX system tries to Remote Copy (RCP) or Remote Execute
(REXEC) with a Windows NT system, the connection is refused. If you
run the command GUEST@OLYMPUS 7 :/USR/GUEST>RCP TEST INDURAIN:TEST
from SCO UNIX, the following message is generated:

   rcmd: connect: indurain.microsoft.com: Connection refused

A similar message is returned for REXEC.

CAUSE
=====

Windows NT does not have the server portion of the Remote Copy and
Remote Execute commands (usually, rshd and rexecd, respectively);
therefore, the connection is refused.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

Additional reference words: 3.10 tcp/ip rcp rexec rshd rexecd
