Hi, I've never connected two or more computers before, and have questions regarding administration. I now have two Debian Linux boxes connected via Ethernet and NFS up and running, no problem.
However, I can't get rlogin/rsh/rcp working "passwordlessly". I have added +<host> in /etc/hosts.equiv on both boxes and gone through /etc/login.defs with no success. I even get a password prompt when doing 'rlogin localhost'! I'm sure there is a config somewhere I've missed. How do you declare a host's chummy friends besides hosts.equiv? Secondly, what is the best way to propagate the passwd and group files? I consider using NIS but haven't put my teeth in it yet. I though perhaps an 'rcp' would do it, but since I can't rcp due to the password prompt, well, you get the picture. Any hints are welcome. Regards, /Gunnar
