[TAG] copying of the information by means of the program under the name "Omniback"

[Alex Kalman]

Hi,

I don't have choice. We want to do copying of the information for a
computer in which is SUSE LINUX 7.3 by means of the program under the
name "Omniback". Therefore the input in LINUX 7.3 by means of a commands
"rlogin" and "rsh"  should be with the password of the "root".

Agreed.  But allowing remote root login just creates just one more 
vulnerability on top everything else.
