Hi all!
We just set up a linux box to do some testing on, and I'm trying to set it
up so that all I have to do to get on this box is type in "rsh <box name>"
and not get prompted for a password. I have added my osf box name in the
/etc/hosts.allow file with the line "ALL: <osf box name>". I have also added
a .rhosts file in my home directory on both boxes. However, I still get
prompted for a password whenever I rsh from osf to linux, but not the other
way. In other words, I can rsh from the linux box to the osf box without
giving a password. Can anyone tell me what I'm forgetting here?
Thanks!
PS - The permissions on both .rhosts files are 777.
