UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I'n new on this... And I don't have experience.

I need to know how to enable rsh between solaris and tru64.

I don't know what i need to modify or install. I really don't have idea.

If somebody has documentation about this, or has a procedure to do this.

I really will appreciate your help.

Best regards to everyone.

No, you really don't - that would just be a security risk.

Good - that way you can't open your systems up to a security risk.

Okay, but I've warned you about the security risks!!! You should really use ssh instead which would allow you to do everything that rsh/rcp have to offer. Look for other threads on this site about ssh.

First, insure that the IP and hostname of the tru64 system is in /etc/hosts on your Solaris box. Next, make sure it's in the /etc/hosts.allow file (allowing the different rexec/rlogin/rsh daemons on the subnet for the tru64 box). Put the tru64 server name in /etc/hosts.equiv. See the man pages for rsh, hosts.equiv, and rlogin. Then look at the man pages on your tru64 system - the commands should be approximately the same.
