rlogin problem

[khilari]

hi guys, when i rlogin into the box i am asked password... i cannot rcp or anything... in /root/.rhosts the entry is there for servers i am trying to get into..
What do i do to trouble shoot this..
Thanks

What are the systems? Is "/root" the home
directory for user "root" on the destination
system ("the box")? I'm glad that you think
that your ".rhosts" file is good, but I
haven't seen it, and I have no reason to
trust your opinion.

Look in the system log files? Knowing
nothing about the system, it's hard to do
more than guess.

1) were you using root to rlogin?

2) is /root/ the default directory of root user?

3) is the ownership of /root/.rhosts correct?

4) is the name of the server you login from the same as in the .rhosts file?

5) is the server name has an entry in the /etc/hosts?

>>> in /root/.rhosts the entry is there for servers i am trying to get into

NO! : At all server you are trying to get into you need an entry for the host you are starting rlogin from!
