Hi
I have 2 BSD boxes, want to acheive automatic rsh login from one BSD
box to
other.
I tried placing host name of the boxes in .rhosts file of the boxes under
~root directory.
This works fine with user account and I am able to remotely execute
commands on the other box with rsh.
Eg:
==
rsh bsd2 df
bsd2 - host
df - command
But with super user account , i get error as
rshd: Login incorrect. which basically is * Login incorrect.* No
password file entry for the user name existed or the authentication
procedure described above failed.Though i have password file entry of root
in each of the BSD boxes

You know you can do this with SSH and host keys, right? It's a more
secure than doing stuff via rsh.
Just do the following:
1. Uncomment PermitRootLogin without-password in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
2. As root run ssh-keygen, pick your cypher and password, and then put
it in .ssh/authorized_keys on the remote host.
3. Restart the serving host's sshd using /etc/rc.d/sshd restart.
Voila. Much better than using rsh.
(I admit I skipped or glossed over a few steps, but if you want more
information they're available in the manpages :)..).
