rlogin question

[chomps303]

I have several machines that I need to run rlogin and rcmd commands. I have set up all machines the same. I have put appropriate entries in /.rhosts & /etc/hosts.equiv . Some machines work and others dont' any ideas? What am I missing?

Thanks

The client's IP address also needs to be in /etc/hosts on the server you are rshing to.

What message are you getting... "Permission denied"?

Have you tried using "+" as the host name in /.rhosts on the destination system? (Don't leave it that way though, as it's not secure.)

Thanks for all your help!!

I found out the problem!!

I had permissions set to 666 on /.rhosts, the ones that did not work and they needed to be 600.

Thanks
