Remsh

Nantambu Starks_1 — Wed, 02 Mar 2005 09:59:57 GMT

Does a user need an account on a remote machine to be able to rlogin and/or remsh to it without having to provide a password?

Any assistance/guidance on this would be appreciated.

Yes and a .rhosts file in their home directory.

Or a /etc/hosts.equiv file instead of a .rhosts file.

You can also use hosts.equiv (on the remote system) to define equivalent users' access to the remote system.

So, whether I use .rhost or hosts.equiv, I definitely have to have a user account on the remote machine?
