I my other mail I said that I need to do rsh and rdist.

Done. I can log in via rlogin (requiring a password) or
telnet with no problem. Again, I said that in my last mail
as well.

on my system:
RLOGIND(8) UNIX System Manager's Manual
RLOGIND(8)
NAME
rlogind - remote login server
SYNOPSIS
rlogind [-aln]
DESCRIPTION
Rlogind is the server for the rlogin(1) program. The server provides a
remote login facility with authentication based on privileged port num
bers from trusted hosts.
Options supported by rlogind:
-a Ask hostname for verification.
-l Prevent any authentication based on the user's ``.rhosts'' file,
unless the user is logging in as the superuser.
-n Disable keep-alive messages.
It goes on to describe that authentication is done as
described in the rshd man page. Besides, I'm very much more
interested in rsh anyway. There is no mention of a -h
option, but there is mention of the ruserok system call, and
its manpage, but I can't find that man page. Also, I can't
do this as myself either -- or any user, as stated in my
last mail.
I have netstd 2.05-1 and netbase 2.04-1 with libc5 5.4.20-1.

I'm not sure what bo R6 means, but the packages listed above
should be useful to someone as a checkpoint. I'd like to
install hamm from scratch, but I can't get the install disks
to work.

What's the TLUG list? I'm on the ptk list but that's got
nothing to do with this, nor is it even linux specific.
Thanks
