Remote Access from Windows NT Machine via rsh (Need help, please !)

[TSch]

Hi again,

I just configured my RS6000 for remote access via rsh.
So far I've added two machines in the following files:

/etc/hosts
/.rhosts
/etc/hosts.equiv

I've configured them both in the same way, so that there shouldn't be any difference - at least on the RS6000 side.
One of the machines is another RS6000, and the other one is a PC running WinNT.

I've refreshed the inted subsystem and tried the following command on BOTH of the remote machines:

rsh "IP-Adress of the rsh - server" -l root "Command"

From the other RS6000 machine this worked perfect and he executed the command immediately
But when I tried the same from the NT machine he told me "permission is denied" and "connection cannot be established"...

My question is: Are there any additional steps (e.g. some sort of "rsh client&quot, that has to be executed on the NT machine or has this something to do with ports ?? What can I do ?

I hope there's someone out there who can help me ...

Thanks in advance !

Regards
T.Schmitt

Talked to my NT guy, it seems as If you may be trying to log into the RS as whatever you are logged into the NT as. Try to create a user on the RS for the NT machine or vice versa and see if that helps.
