Looking at the source for the looking-glass though it doesn't use the
username option for rsh command. When useing the cisco command below
don't you have to use the rsh username?

ip rcmd remote-host www 206.183.224.12 nobody

I changed the ip of the $ROUTER in lg.pl to
  "www\@ipaddress.of.router" instead of "ipaddress.of.router"
which seems to work. I kept getting Permission Denied without it.

You need to make sure that in 'ip rcmd' that you have local-username
defined to something that there is a 'username xxx' entry on the cisco for.

In other words, if you have (sorry syntax is probably not correct):

ip rcmd remote-host joebob lookingglass.yourcompany.com daemon enable

you have to have a

'username joebob' entry on the cisco as well.

local-username means "apply the permissions of local-username when this rsh
matches"

and remote-username is the userid of whatever your cgi-bin runs as.. if your
web server is setuid "daemon" and cgi-bins are daemon, it will only work
if you have 'daemon' as a remote-username in the ip rcmd command.
