rlogin as root
I want to be able to rlogin from one SunOS box to another SunOS box as root. Additionally, I do not want to type in my password everytime. I get the ole' "Not on system console" message when I try it. I remember running into this a couple of years ago, and was able to overcome it. However, I can't remember what file I manipulated to make it work? Anybody remember??

/etc/default/login Comment out the CONSOLE line.

Great! That is it!!

BUT......it still asks me for a password????

I already have .rhosts and hosts.quiv in place. Any other ideas?

Since you're trying to log in as root, hosts.equiv is ignored. You have some problem with your .rhosts file. A common error is to have the hostname wrong. You must use whatever gethostbyaddr() will return for the ip address at the other end of the socket.
