OK, just so long as you know that this is a bad choice. Though behind a
firewall on your home lan is probably not the greatest security risk. I
strongly suggest using ssh and .shosts, etc.
Anyway, do the following
1) Check to make sure /etc/hosts.equiv has the client ip addresses.
2) Uncomment the following line in /etc/inetd.conf ...
#shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rshd
3) Restart tcp wrappers via
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start
That should do it. If you have problems after that, check the permissions on
.rhosts.
Hope that helps
