.rhosts

[mohan singh]

Hi all,

I am facing a problem here in .rhost configuration.
I have systemA and SystemB
I have updated both .rhost entery with their hosts name.
I can rlogin from systemA to SystemB without login. But can not rloging from SystemB to systemA without passwd. Mean when I say rlogin systemB its asking passwd. what is wrong . Please give some clue.

Thanx
Mohan

Mohan,

check wheather host name is systemb is resolving on systema

login in systema
#nslookup systemb

if this not return system B ip address then add entry for systemb in /etc/hosts or in DNS
or you can use systemB's IP address in .rhosts file

hi Mohan

check the entries in /etc/inetd.conf on both machines. are they equal?
Should be like :
login stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind

let me know

Hi Mohan,

Another very important point is the file permissions for .rhosts. Ensure that the permissions on .rhosts file are of that user for whcih you have created it.

HTH,
