The same way you do in a HP-UX to HP-UX.

You can use the standard tools (remsh (called 'rsh' in linux), rexec and rlogin).

By default, most linux distributions dissalow you from doing 'r' based commands into a Linux box as the 'root' user, but the concept of '.rhosts' files is the same.

It is reccomended however that you use the 'ssh' replacement of such tools for security purposes, using an 'rsa' key exchange for security.

if you could clarify exactally how you want to 'remotely login', we can give you further details on how to do such tasks.

To login one would use rlogin.

Check the deamons are running on the linux box. Can you telnet to the linux server?

Add your HP server's hostname to $HOME/.rhosts on the linux server.
Maybe add FQDN too, and IP address if you experience problems.
Do a chmod 400 .rhosts.
Try to rlogin from HP server.

As said by Stuart, consider using ssh which will give you the same functionality but no passwords in clear text over the network.

By the way,

it's better to ask the question in one forum only....

In Fedora core 1 out of the box, I think that

ssh hostname.com

should work. Works for me.

In short: in modern Linux distros telnet/ftp/r-command are disbaled by default because ssh provides the same functionality.

If you want to allow rsh/rlogin in RH/Fedora:
1) chkconfig rsh on ; chkconfig rlogin on
2) add you hp host hostname into .rhosts
3) if you want to use rsh/rlogin for root user - you should add rsh and rlogin into /etc/securetty file.

The best approach would probably be to install the HP-UX Secure Shell (ssh) product on your server. It's available for 11.0 and above. Here's a link to the product on the software.hp.com site:
