Hi Thanks for all the answers I got to my original message. I'm afraid you all misunderstood my question, though.
I am not interested in allowing remote root logins to my machine. Only rsh and friends (like rcp). To illustrate, this is a transcript from a short session from our primary server (the one requiring rsh access to the debian hosts): To the machine working correctly: |------------------------------------- | # rsh deb1 date | Thu Sep 11 15:12:48 MET DST 1997 | | # rlogin deb1 | root login refused on this terminal. | | deb1 login: |------------------------------------- To the debian 1.3.1 machine: |------------------------------------- | # rsh deb2 date | Permission denied. | | # rlogin deb2 | Password: |------------------------------------- Both machines have the same entry in root's .rhosts file, and 'deb1' also fails if that entry is removed.
