Stupid sysadmin question



Essentially, I've known about problems with RSH/REXEC/RLOGIN for well
over 10 years which is why I only installed them on one system
temporarily. Our IT guy in NY was able to log in to that system
successfully from Exceed 2007, so it appears to be an older Exceed
issue. What I need to do is find out exactly what this guy wants to do
and determine the best way to accommodate him (either via Exceed or
Xming or Mocha). He's not in today, but I think what he wants to do is
to be able to load our product directly. So instead of loading a shell,
what he wants is an icon to our product. In any case he is out of the
office for a day or so.
