remsh : login incorrect

[PRUSZEK Nicolas]

Hello,

I have a server HP 11.11 named "lanouee", and user use the command on lanouee itself:
remsh lanouee -n ls

Connected with user root, it's ok
but with another user, there is an error "Login incorrect"

What is the pb, file .rhosts seems correct?

File .rhosts:
lanouee.sfr.com +
lanouee +
10.84.186.222 +

OR

lanouee.sfr.com root
lanouee root
10.84.186.222 root

I've tried the 2 configuration.

The .rhosts file needs to reside in the user's home directory. Can you verify?

There are several permission/ownership check to be made:

The .rhosts file must be in the user's $HOME directory.

The $HOME directory must not be world writable (ie, never 777 permissions).

The .rhosts file must be 600, no read byu anyone except the user.
