Uros,

A problem has been detected with some changes in rsh code in NT4 SP6. Please refer to the following article for Microsoft hotfix.

Q243835 How to Prevent Predictable TCP/IP Initial Sequence Numbers http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q243/8/35.asp http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q243/8/35.asp

We have added a workaround for this issue from our side, and this can be handled by a kernel patch (will be added to one of our next releases by default) which you can track thru bug number 33682. The best for you though would be to apply the Windows hotfix than to change anything on the filer.

Please reply if this helps, Eyal.

Hi!

I have problems performing RSH from specific servers.

This is from NT 4.0 SP6. The first RSH goes OK, the second one hangs. Every time! If a wait some time between RSH command it works OK. This is Exchange server. I tried it from five diferent servers and workstations and they all work fine.

I'd like to run batch to delete old snapshot, rename and create new. It always execute only first command and the others time out. Only on this server?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
