I have a linux cluster (a beowulf), and I want to be able to use rsh with root to the nodes. I found the "CONSOLE" line in /etc/login.defs and commented it out. Now root is allowed to rsh in to the machines, but I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to allow root to rsh in without a passwd. I added the machines in the cluster into the /etc/hosts.equiv file, and now everyonw but root can rsh between nodes without a password.
What am I missing for root? (I need this esp. for rdist and such.)
