Re: rsh with .rhosts problems

["Eloy A. Paris" <eparis@ven.ra.rockwell.com>]

Can you send the .rhosts in both hosts to the list?

As I remember it, the rshd is very picky about the way you specify
the hpost name in .rhosts. I think is has to be the same string
the gethostbyaddr() (the resolver) returns.

I hope this helps.
