rlogin .rhosts and amanda problem

1999-07-28 Thread Gareth 
G'day all,
I am trying to set Amanda on my new PIII potato system.
I discovered it isn't working because the rlogin keeps asking for a
password there is a .rhosts file and the entry is correct. I can rlogin to
my account just not into ~backup. I created a new user called
amanda and tried to rlogin to that but it still asked for a password.

Is there something I am missing/forgetting???

help!

---Gareth

Have you checked that the rhosts fields are:
  1) named '.rhosts'
  2) owned byt he user
  3) mode 600 (not 644 or 664)
  4) That the host you are coming FROM is listing in them
