Hi again,

I've got a mini network with two debian machines, and would like
to set them up so that all users can login from one machine to
the other without being asked for a password.  I know I could
use .rhosts files for this, but that requires every user to set
it up.  I would like a global solution.

I found the man page about hosts.equiv:

       The hosts.equiv file allows or denies hosts and  users  to
       use  the r-commands (e.g. rlogin, rsh or rcp) without supĀ­
       plying a password.

But I can't seem to set it up correctly.  I tried
+mpci

on one machine and
+mpcii

on the other (yes, those two are the host names), and I even
tried a single '+', but I still get the password prompt.
I just don't see what's wrong?  Help, please!

Thanks so much in advance,
 Andy.
