I have heard that adding auth sufficient pam_rootok.so to /etc/pam.d/rsh should be enough, but I had experiences that I needed to add /root/.rhosts. I'm using "dsh" extensively for cluster maintenance, it is a Debian package. For systems which you cannot really log in as root with rsh, to initially set up, you could use dsh -ica to login to all hosts interactively :P -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
