I'm trying to use rdist to mirror a tree from a 4.5 machine ("speyburn") to a 5.1 machine ("banff"). So firstoff rsh has to work. This is root-to-root.
I've set up the /root/.rhosts on the target 5.1 machine and also on the 4.5 machine so I can check it both ways round. Logged on as root on the 5.1 machine I can do "rsh speyburn ls" and get a listing with no problems. But the other way round I get "rshd: Login incorrect" and the auth.log file on the server shows: >Dec 19 14:36:29 banff rshd[74139]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] as root: permission denied >(authentication error). cmd='ls' But I can use "rsh banff" and I get logged on with no password prompt. It's not tcp wrappers since the hosts.allow is unchanged from the as-installed version. Both .rhosts files are rw-r--r--. It's got to be something simple but I can't see it. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
