Check /etc/host.equiv for statements blocking the connection.

If you have ipfilters check that configuration.

Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log as you try and connect and note and act on errors.

Hi,

If you are seeing 'Lost connection' message, then most likely r-services are not being allowed to|on the hpux workstation. Check the following.

1. Make sure there are no firewalls between the client and the hpux workstation.
2. Make sure hpux workstation doesn't restrict access to r-services through it's /var/adm/inetd.sec file.
3. Make sure r-services (login,exec and shell) are not disabled in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services files.

If .rhosts is wrong, rlogin should prompt you for a password.
