The .rhosts file goes on the target computer in the target user's home directory. The .rhosts file is giving permission for a the named account on the source computer to access the remote account with commands such as "remsh", "rcp" and "rlogin".
That .rhosts file will contain line(s) of the form:
source_computer_name source_user_name
The source_computer_name should be the name (not an alias) returned by "nslookup source_computer_name" when run on the target computer.
A .rhosts file must be owned by root or the owner of the target account.

cat .servers | while read LINE; do
ssh jason@$LINE $1
done

Why does this ONLY iterate on the first server in the list? It's not doing the command on all the servers in the list, what am I missing?
Thanks!

Hi. I've been playing around a bit. This isn't for any practical purpose-- it's really just a theoretical exercise. I wrote this little thing:
foreach num ( 6 5 4 )
awk -v "number=$num" 'BEGIN{for(x=0;x<$number;x++) printf "-"; printf "\n"}'
end
I would expect the following output:

Hi!
I have a somehow big file (almost 3000 lines long and thirteen columns). Some lines have no value at all or, at least, are incomplete. The columns' values that have no data are marked with a "-" and the corresponding line (the line that owns that value) should be discarded and not used.

pam_rhosts
PAM_RHOSTS(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_RHOSTS(8)
NAME
pam_rhosts - The rhosts PAM module
SYNOPSIS
pam_rhosts.so
DESCRIPTION
This module performs the standard network authentication for services, as used by traditional implementations of rlogin and rsh etc.
The authentication mechanism of this module is based on the contents of two files; /etc/hosts.equiv (or and ~/.rhosts. Firstly, hosts
listed in the former file are treated as equivalent to the localhost. Secondly, entries in the user's own copy of the latter file is used
to map "remote-host remote-user" pairs to that user's account on the current host. Access is granted to the user if their host is present
in /etc/hosts.equiv and their remote account is identical to their local one, or if their remote account has an entry in their personal
configuration file.
The module authenticates a remote user (internally specified by the item PAM_RUSER connecting from the remote host (internally specified by
the item PAM_RHOST). Accordingly, for applications to be compatible this authentication module they must set these items prior to calling
pam_authenticate(). The module is not capable of independently probing the network connection for such information.
OPTIONS
debug
Print debug information.
silent
Don't print informative messages.
superuser=account
Handle account as root.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the auth module type is provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_AUTH_ERR
The remote host, remote user name or the local user name couldn't be determined or access was denied by .rhosts file.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User is not known to system.
EXAMPLES
To grant a remote user access by /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts for rsh add the following lines to /etc/pam.d/rsh:
#%PAM-1.0
#
auth required pam_rhosts.so
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth required pam_unix.so
