man sshd,scp
The point is not to use .rhosts,you have this
in the usual system.
Basically,install ssh,edit sshd_config on the server and enable: RhostsAuthentication.
Sshd man page explains all.

[Ralph Grothe]

Enabling Rhosts Authentication somewhat defeats the purpose of SSH.
So no one usually wants this.
But if you insist clinging to it,
edit the sshd_config file
(for "HP Secure Shell" usually in
/opt/ssh/etc)
and add this line for protocol 2

HostbasedAuthentication yes

or for protocol 1

RhostsRSAAuthentication yes

and signal your SSH server like

# kill -1 $(cat /var/run/sshd.pid)

Attached is my usual document that covers this sort of thing. Its easier done than said. Just follow it step-by-step.

You should NOT use .rhosts or anything like it; they're just NOT secure.
