I have installed SCO Openserver 5.0.7 and when I try to rlogin from another server that is define in /.rhosts of this server,the system always prompt for password. This appends when I try to rlogin as root but not with another user.

Try to add the user 'root' in your .rhosts files like this:

HostName root

I copy the hosts file to host.equiv. Is that right ? or how do you have to write it in this file.

man hosts.equiv

OK problem is solved. The trouble was that in the server where rlogin didn't work the permissions of .rhosts file were 644 insted of 600 that is required.
