rlogin without a password prompt in linux
For setting a distributed computing environment, I want to rsh (rlogin) to different machines without a password prompt. I have three machines,
"MACHINE_A", "MACHINE_B", MACHINE_C". Problem is the following.
I can rlogin (rsh) without a passwd prompt from (to) MACHINE_A to (from) MACHINE_B.
I can rlogin (rsh) without a password prompt from (to) MACHINE_B to (from) MACHINE_C.
I can also rlogin(rsh) from MACHINE_A to MACHINE_C without a pawwsd prompt. But, I am not able to do the same from MACHINE_C to MACHINE_A.
All machines a linux machines. User name is the same in all the machines. .rhosts at users home directories includes hostsnames as well as IP addresses of all three machines.
I will appreciate anybody's help, Please tell me where I am making the mistake.
Thank you,

If this doesn't resolve it, then try putting ip/FQDN in .rhosts file.

Re: rlogin without a password prompt in linux
Check name/address resolution on both A and C machines.
You need to have correct resolution for:
nslookup A and nslookup IP-A
nslookup C and nslookup IP-C

machineA root
ip_addressofmachineA root
machineA.abc.com root
check nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf files for missing entries.

Re: rlogin without a password prompt in linux
machine_a someuser
machine_a.mydomain.com someuser
12.34.56.78 someuser
where 12.34.56.78 is the IP address of machine_a. The 'r' daemons perform some trivial security checks to validate the remote system and differences in name resolution in each machine will cause this problem.
