-
You run the following rsh command on the computer to connect to a Remote Shell service (RSH) server:
rsh -l <UserName> <IP/HostName> <Command>
Note The <UserName> user account does not have administrator rights on the RSH server.
In this scenario, you receive an error message that resembles the following on the computer:

Additionally, an error message that resembles the following is logged on the RSH server:
Login incorrect.
Cause
This issue occurs because the rsh command does not send the user name to the RSH server correctly.
