rdist & rsh problem

[Murugan Krishnan]

Hi I am trying to configure the rdist   Looks like rdist uses rsh to copy the files.   when I try rsh it asks for the password . I want to do rsh, rlogin or rcp with out entering the password. I am keeping the passwords same at both systems.  I have the following setup                    /etc/hosts.allow  ALL: ALL                   /etc/hosts.equiv +                    .rhosts   + Still I am prompted for the password. what am I doing wrong ? Appreciate your help.   Murugan Krishnan Unix Systems Support
