either You don't have inetd or r-daemons enabled (ps -ef | grep inetd, and /etc/inetd.conf) or it's not set to allow You in. See man rhosts on that. :)

(ah, and btw - use scp!!!)

[Mel Burslan]

on pd10, does the user have a .rhosts file with the following format:

(assume you are coming from pd11 with username user1)

pd11 user1

make sure .rhosts have 400 permissions

also make sure on pd10 you do not have any disabling done for pd11 in the /var/adm/inetd.sec for remsh or rexec services.

The connection can be refused for several reasons. The most common is /var/adm/inetd.sec where a list a valid IP addresses is allowed (or denied). The second is /etc/inetd.conf where the remshd line must be enabled. Then check if there is a /etc/hosts.equiv (probably not, but if so, it controls remsh/rcp access) and then .rhosts in the HOME directory of the user trying to access the server.
