remsh: login incorrect

[V. Nyga]

Hi,

strange issue:
a script with remsh works for all users except one - this user gets a 'login incorrect'.
All users are NIS user - when the user uses an empty password it's working, else not.
Can anybody explain this for me?

or more clearly:
How can I check why it's not working?
Where can I search?

Hi can U check for these files?

$HOME/.rhosts
&
/etc/hosts.equiv


Regards,

Volkmar,

Since /etc/hosts.equiv should apply for all users, I would suspect that you're using ~/.rhosts to grant individual access and this user apparently doesn't have a .rhosts entry?

Please Check user's .rhosts file on both servers.

Thanks

Of course you're right - I missed this file for the new user.

Thanks a lot to all!!!!!!
