I am emailing binary attachments via shar (to an exchange account), but keep getting "header" information in the body of the email message and can't figure out how to remove this text. This is what I am doing: shar zipfile.zip | mail -s "Incoming file" joe@blow.com This sends the file perfectly, but includes a shell script on how to uudecode the attached file in the message body. I don't want this info in the email since it will only confuse the recipient. I've looked through the shar man page and cannot find a way to suppress the test. I've also used uuencode on an HP-UX server and it works perfectly (no email text), unlike shar. Any help or other methods to send an attachment from the command line would be appreciated. Thanks...

Thanks Aru, it worked perfectly!!! :D

That actually is an excellent idea that had not occurred to me. My ultimate goal is to use rsync to keep log files synchronized and I was under the impression I could only do this with rsh. After further reading it appears I can use ssh with rysnc. Unfortunately, I still have to enter a password when using ssh. I have updated the .shosts and shosts.equiv file to no avail. I am not very familiar with ssh -- do I need to update anything else? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks...

Can't seem to get either of these to work on Mandrake 7.2 or 8.2 on two different PCs. I installed the rsh-server and rsh-client RPMs. I've added entries to .rhosts, /etc/hosts.equiv, /etc/hosts.allow and uncommented the daemons in /etc/inetd.conf. Everytime I attempt an rsh or rlogin I get a connection timed out. I've even tried to rlogin into the server I am currently logged into. Anyone have any idea about what I might be missing? I've done this successfully about 2 million times on HP-UX servers, but I can't think of anything else I might need to enable this under Linux. Thanks...

One more desparate plea for help...

Shameless bump. Anyone out there even use rlogin or rsh??
