You cannot use "+" instead of hostname in linux.
Rgds, Vitaly -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Green Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2005 10:37 AM To: ilug Subject: rsh ~/.rhosts file On UNIX users can have their personal .rhosts files which lists users that are allowed to login into the account, in the form: silver:~->2% cat .rhosts + michaelg + foobar And it works as advertised on every UNIX that I tried (Solaris, IRIX). However it looks like on Linux the behaviour is different: putting usernames into .rhosts makes no effect, but putting hostnames _does_! Why is the difference?
