You need to open a simple telnet session from A to B first, then look at where the login is from:-
Code:
ServerA telnet ServerB
Login: username
Password: password
Welcome to ServerB!
ServerB who am i
username pts/t0 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
Now you can use this information as it is displayed. Hopefully aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is a name rather than an IP address as you have included it in /etc/hosts (ServerB will have done a lookup) but really all you need to do is to add the address into your .rhosts file in your home directory rather than the global /etc/hosts.equiv which permits wider access. Esure that this file is RW to yourself and no-one else:-
Code:
ServerB chmod 700 .rhosts
Then exit the telnet session to ServerB and from ServerA again, try:-
Code:
ServerA rsh ServerB hostname
Hopefully it will display the hostname of ServerB and you can then try variations on the command. Quoting and knowing which shell with expand metacharacters or interpret variables can be quite tricky though.
Have a go and let us know how you get on. I hope that this helps.
If you still can't get on, check that the port is listening. You are after ports 513 & 514. If they are not listening, you may have to alter /etc/xinet.d/* to make sure that they are not disabled. Do not save backup versions of these files in the same directory or they will be considered live too, which can get messy - he says from experience

rhosts
rhosts(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual rhosts(4)NAME
rhosts, .rhosts - Specifies remote users that can use a local user account
SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.rhosts
DESCRIPTION
The .rhosts file contains a list of remote users who are not required to supply a login password when they execute the rcp, rlogin, and rsh
commands using a local user account.
The .rhosts file is a hidden file in your home directory. It must be owned by you or the root user and it must not be writable by group or
world, otherwise, it is not used. Moreover, although it is not required, it is sensible to set the permissions of the file to 600, so the
file is not readable by group or world.
Each entry in the file is of the following form: host [user]
where: The name of the remote host. If the remote host is in a different domain than the local host, the full domain name must be speci-
fied. The login name of the remote user. This field is optional. If this field is not specified, any user on the specified remote host is
exempt from providing a password, and is assumed to have the same username on both the local and remote hosts.
Optionally, an NIS netgroup name can be specified for the host name, user name, or both.
Entries in the .rhosts file are either positive or negative. Positive entries allow access; negative entries deny access. The following
entries are positive: hostname username +@netgroup
In addition, the plus sign (+) can be used in place of the hostname or username. In place of the hostname, it means any remote host. In
place of the username, it means any user.
The following entries are negative: -hostname -username -@netgroup
EXAMPLES
The following sample entries in the /u/chen/.rhosts file on host zeus allow users moshe and pierre at remote host venus and user robert at
the hosts specified in the NIS netgroup chicago to log in to user chen's home directory on host zeus: venus moshe venus pierre +@chicago
robert
