The following examples are executed on system alpha, by user fred. alpha is networked to beta and gamma.

The example copies list from fred's home directory on
alpha to fred's home directory on beta.

rcp list beta:list

Having correct /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts simply wont allow
you to do a rcp , or rsh.
You should have the following line uncommented in the dest. machine`s /etc/inetd.conf (this is to invoke rsh daemon)

shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rshd in.rshd

If the above line is commented , remove the comment and
execute
# kill -1 <pid> (rereads the inetd.conf)
(pid is the process id of inetd .)

Thats all.
