1.If a user adds the logout command in the .bash_profile file, then that user cant login.(I hope I'm correct) So, is there anyway to login into that users account without contacting the root or an administrator.
No. Someone with priviledges has to edit this file.

2. Is there anyway to execute a command in remote machine rsh and uux seem to fail quite often.And for these two commands do I need to configure any file ?
ssh root@server cat /etc/passwd

3. We ping a machine to see if its alive.. Is there an alternate command for it?
ICMP may be filtered, so that ping will fail, as well as traceroute, you can telnet to a certain port on the remote machine, e.g. telnet server 80

4. Is there a way to escape symbols like '-' while deleting using rm, instead using some regex matchin the file. ex. to remove -300.txt will rm work?
- yes, put " " around the filename.

kf

KF(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						     KF(1)

NAME

     kf -- securely forward tickets

SYNOPSIS

     kf [-p port | --port=port] [-l login | --login=login] [-c ccache | --ccache=ccache] [-F | --forwardable] [-G | --no-forwardable]
	[-h | --help] [--version] host ...

DESCRIPTION

     The kf program forwards tickets to a remote host through an authenticated and encrypted stream.  Options supported are:

     -p port, --port=port
	     port to connect to

     -l login, --login=login
	     remote login name

     -c ccache, --ccache=ccache
	     remote cred cache

     -F, --forwardable
	     forward forwardable credentials

     -G, --no-forwardable
	     do not forward forwardable credentials

     -h, --help

     --version

     kf is useful when you do not want to enter your password on a remote host but want to have your tickets one for example AFS.

     In order for kf to work you will need to acquire your initial ticket with forwardable flag, i.e.  kinit --forwardable.

     telnet is able to forward tickets by itself.

     kinit(1), telnet(1), kfd(8)
