Do you have a .rhosts file?

Read more on the man page

man remsh
man remshd

Consider to use ssh for more security.

Hey

Check the .rhosts file on BOTH server.

You should also check the /etc/hosts.equiv file.

1.when i am trying to do remsh it is giving error
remsh: login incorrect

2. i have checked and found that there is no /etc/hosts.equiv file and .rhosts file in home directory

Hey

Create the .rhosts file on both server.

e.g.
ServerA:
User:oracle
/home/oracle/.rhosts (content of this file)
ServerB oracle

ServerB:
User:oracle
/home/oracle/.rhosts (content of this file)
ServerA oracle

You can test it with rlogin.
e.g. on ServerB type
#rlogin ServerA

if you can connect without typing a password, then remsh should also work.

p.s. as you are new in this forums, don't forget to assign points.
