Hi friends,

I want to get a clear picture of hosts.equiv
and rhosts
i ahve put host name username in hosts.equiv
but still it is asking for password
its like this
HOST root
Is any thing else is required with which i can login in to the second system with root rights
with out knowing the passwd
because very frequently they will change the password

thanks in advance
avm

Hi, put + root in your .rhosts file and you should have no problem. Hope this helps.

HI:

Make sure your hostname is a fully-qualified domain name.

Using hosts.equiv does not work with root. I think that it is a safety feature. If you want to have root capabilities on another server, you will have to add a .rhosts file for the root user of the other server.

Check $HOME/.rhosts,/etc/hosts,/etc/hosts.equiv,/var/adm/inetd.sec.
