Hi, I'm trying to configure rshd to start up the nodes in a distributed simulation system using Cygwin running on a bunch of Win2K and WinXP machines. As a first step, I tried rsh'ing to the localhost, which works okay. When I use the local machine name instead, rsh claims that it couldn't look up the address for the client. I was wondering if anybody out there has seen this problem before and if you have any insight on fixing it.
Here's a run log and the relevent lines from the hosts.allow, hosts.equiv and my .rhosts files: Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc $ rsh localhost ls My eBooks Visual Studio Projects bin draper mail public_html research school stuff tmp usaf Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc $ rsh dfcs-c77yq01 ls dfcs-c77yq01: Couldn't look up address for your host (dfcs-c77yq01.usafa.af.mil) Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc $ cat hosts.allow ALL : localhost ALL : dfcs-c77yq01 Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc $ cat hosts.equiv localhost dfcs-c77yq01 Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc $ cat ~/.rhosts localhost harold.andrews dfcs-c77yq01 harold.andrews Any insight is greatly appreciated.
