    Hi,

    The solution is to put

    + +

    in /etc/hosts.equiv and additionally make sure that there's a 'ptys'
    line in /etc/securettys

    Thanks to everybody who replied to my question.

    And yes: I know the security implications of that.

    Tom

    Subject: Unrestricted rsh/rlogin ..

    Hi,

    I have troubles getting unrestricted rsh/rlogin under Tru64 4.0g
    going. We want any user to be allowed to rsh/rlogin from any host.
    I've put "+" in /etc/hosts.equiv and "+" in /root/.rhosts where
    /root/.rhosts is additionally set to chmod 400.

    Now only root can rlogin to root or any user can rlogin to the same
    user but "rlogin -l root machine" from another user account is not
    possible.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks // Tom
