Hani, 1. The '.rhosts' file is in the home directory of the user you are trying to rlogin to on the target machine. The format of a typical '.rhosts' file is: hostA userid hostB
If you specify just a host then all the userid's from that hostname will be allowed to rlogin. If your host is a hostname and not an IP address be sure and define in your /etc/hosts file. 2. I don't know if you can circumvent that security feature in rlogin. 3. I don't use KDE so can't help you with that issue. Kathy Bieltz info wrote: > Kathy, > > 1. I do not have a .rhosts files.
