I have two opensolaris servers (SunOS solexprv1 5.11 snv_110 i86pc i386 i86pc)
, and want to set up a trust server.
192.168.25.205 :
-bash-3.2# more /.rhosts
192.168.25.206 root
-bash-3.2# more /etc/hosts.equiv
192.168.25.206 +
>From 192.168.25.206:
-bash-3.2# rsh -l root 192.168.25.205 echo 0000
permission denied
-bash-3.2# rsh 192.168.25.205 echo 0000
permission denied
What's wrong with my configuration?
I have the same configuration in a solaris 10 server, the rsh can run OK.
192.168.25.200 (solaris 10)
bash-3.00# more /.rhosts
192.168.25.206 +
192.168.25.205 +
-bash-3.2# rsh -l root 192.168.25.200 echo 0000
0000
please help.

What you say about the security defects of rsh is well known to
people around the world.
But rsh is still useful and more simple in the situation like installing
software from one central station to many client computers.
And the performance of rsh is much higher than ssh.
Of cource, after finishing installation, one should disable rsh.
Is this understood?
