How to allow rcp in suse linux 9 64 bits

Hello,

I've installed suse linux 9 and I need to transfer some file through rcp from system1 to system2, but system to refuses connection.

How can I allow this kind of connections?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,

Carles

You need to allow r-command in the inetd settings in "yast2"

Network Services -> Network Services(inetd)

Enable inetd then toggle exec and login then save it.

Then create a .rhosts in /root or as what every user you want.
if you don't wish to uses a password.

This is not nice for security, there are other options
Use scp and share a key between the machines.
For One.
