Re: rlogin and rsh for potato?
Hello,
On the remote machine, you have to put an entry in the /etc/hosts.equiv file containing the name of your machine (locale !) and your user name. Then you should be able to use rlogin and rsh. There is an rsh client and server package in potato, although ssh is prefered.
Greetings,
Stefan Goeman
