Hi,
As the list indicates, I'm a newbie to Linux, but do know other versions of Unix.
My problem is pretty simple (or at least it appears so). I'm required to build a
number of different platforms of our product. I do it with a cron job that rsh'es into
each type of system (Sun, HP, AIX, and Linux) and runs my builds...
As this is done after hours, I'd like for it to require no input from me. However, my
attempts to rsh from a Sun box to my RedHat box always prompts for a password.
The hosts are set in .rhosts, I've even added them in hosts.equiv....
How can I set up a user so that they can rsh to my RedHat???
Obligatory disclaimer: rsh is an insecure protocol. Implemented with .rhosts support, it is even more insecure. Mark, I assume you know your working and networking environments enough better than I that you can make intelligent decisions about these risks, but this is a "kids, don't try this at home" wave-off to any true beginners here... in most settings, what Mark wants to do simply *should not* be done.
See if this tells you what you need to know:

If not, you re going to have to give us the details of how you have rshd (or maybe in.rshd -- naming practice varies a bit) set up ... generally, "What might I have done wrong?" is too demanding a question to get an answer (compared to "Here's what I did; what is actually wrong about it?).
