Gary,

Did you get any replies on this?
I have been playing with rexec and sudo. I have found that sudo requires that
you be attached to a tty device, and it will fail if not; typically, when you
use rexec to "login" to a remote server, you won't have a tty attached, I think.
I was wondering if you had any suggestions back that might be useful to me, too.

Cheers,
