Do you have setuid bit set on /usr/bin/rcp? If not, put it back on with

# chmod 4555 /usr/bin/rcp

I would also run swverify to check for any other potential problems.

# swverify -v \*

check permissions.
does the user have read permission for source files and write permission for target files.

Hi,
R u using .rhosts or hosts.equiv?
I guess you are using .rhosts which is set only for root.
See man of .rhosts and hosts.equiv to know more about them.
Now suppose your user is "algeria" then similar user must exists on the other system from where you are copying file. Then you need to create .rhosts file in the home directory of algeria on th remote system and modify it to give required permissions. Check by adding "+ +" in that file. It shoudl work.

Regards,

Please check rsh or rlogin is working for that user.

And always remember that the rigths are granted in the .rhosts or hosts.equiv of the "client" system, not in the one that is trying to connect.
