Being it's a secret where the password is configured for an rsync
connection, I created a user with the same username/password on both the
local and remote machines. This allows me to rsh in without a password and
rsync now works in one direction BUT it asks for the password. %[
langate.locd.com[/home/a1012]>% rsh sv1.domain.com
Welcome to FreeBSD!

BUT :(
langate.locd.com[/home/a1012]> rsh sv1.domain.com date
sv1.domain.com: Connection refused
AND I can go one way but not the other.
### From remote back to me, OK:
{[EMAIL PROTECTED]} rsync -av langate.locd.com:mmm.txt .
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
receiving file list ... done
mmm.txt
wrote 32 bytes read 114 bytes 22.46 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
### From me to remote:
langate.locd.com[/home/a1012]> rsync -av srv1.sv1.centralhost.com:aaa.txt .
sv1.domain.com: Connection refused
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
Local .rhosts file (works):
langate.locd.com[/home/a1012]> l .rhosts
-rw------- 1 a1012 a1012 13 Aug 1 13:58 .rhosts
langate.locd.com[/home/a1012]> cat .rhosts
66.xxx.209.18
Remote .rhosts file (fails):
{[EMAIL PROTECTED]} l .rhosts
-rw------- 1 a1012 users 291 Aug 1 10:55 .rhosts
{[EMAIL PROTECTED]:152} cat .rhosts
12.xxx.220.246
I can rsh in either direction without a password.
