Hi,

in my environment we have several server with rlogin passwordless login enabled, now there is a problem to setup this with a hpux server. i have check the .rhosts file and kerberos key are all setup properly and permission is correct, even other user id on the server can login without password, but the root account cannot.

the strange thing is even we use rlogin -P cannot login to root with password.

ssh is working fine but a software installation need remsh working.

any idea what should i check on the server?

read this IT Resource Center forums - remsh root always asks for passwd

check /etc/securetty

putting in rlogin does not solve this problem, other host have only console in /etc/securetty but rlogin is working fine. here is the messages i am getting

rlogin host
Couldn't authenticate to server Bad sendauth version was sent
rlogin: kcmd to host <host> failed.

To bypass Kerberos authentication, use the -P option.
