I am able to rlogin, rsh and rdist with out prompting password after adding
the following line as the first line in the files /etc/pam.d/rlogin and
/etc/pam.d/rsh
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so hosts_equiv_rootok
promiscuous no_rhosts
However I need to use root account to do rdist with out prompting password
.
My question is what do I do to use the r'commands for root with out
password.
and I know it is affects the security.
Thanks
Murugan
