trusted system

[O'lnes]

After I change my system to trusted system, then user can 'rlogin' to this host even without set the .rhosts file , is it the problem of trusted system? Thanks.

no

look at $HOME/.rhosts files (by each user!) and /etc/hosts.equiv

[Avadhoot]

There is no relation betwwen .rhosts and host.equiv wiith Trusted mode system . just check $HOME.rhost file of that usr .

Another question is :

I edit the .rhosts but it is not work to use host IP address.

eg.
host_IP_Address edpuser < ----- not work
Hostname edpuser < ----- work

correct

you must use the HOSTNAME

both system must know each other by name!
