Running command in remote machine

I am writing a script to run a command in a remote machine. I tried "rsh" but found out that it was not useful enough for my purpose. Then I tried "rexec" but it didnt work at all, everytime it shows the error "Connection Refused" is there any other method ? or can someone please suggest how to make rexec work ?

Hi!

I'm not sure if there is an easier way, but with openssh you can do this. But rsh would be easier, I don't understand why you can't use rsh.

rexec should prompt you for a password, but that's about the only difference from rsh...

OpenSSH (ssh in general) allows you to you hostbased auth with pre-setup keys. Kind of tricky the first couple of setups but works great once you learn it.
