rsh
Hi,
on .rhosts file of server2 I have :
server1 user
server1 root
when I want to issu rsh from server1 to server2 :
1-If I'm root it is OK.
2-if I'm ordinary user I receive permission denied.
What is the problem ? What is the solution ?
Many thanks in advance.

What OS is this? You probably just need a similar .rhosts file in the users home directory on the destination machine.

Thank you. The .rhosts file ( which I talked about) is already on user home directory.
OS : SunOS 5.8

Make sure the permissions on the ~/.rhosts file is 600.

I don't think that permissions of ~/.rhosts file is the problem.

Let me explain in details the procedure for using rsh command...

The setup is :-
server 1 - login guest
server 2 - login admin

Suppose u want to use rsh command from server1 ( login guest ) to server 2 ( login admin ). In this case

The $HOME/.rhosts file of admin login on server2 machine should contain an entrty as

server1 guest

Execute the rsh command ( from server 1 , guest login ) as :

rsh server2 -l admin

Hope I was able to explain properly.... Smilie
