strange rlogin problem
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?
