hello, Dan you wrote: > Have solved my problem. > It was indeed a configuration problem > and I found it in '/etc/pam.con'. It was just > necessary to alter the 'rlogin' and 'rcp' config. could you tell us exactly what changes you made ? curious and lazy ;-) enough to want bootstrap off your experience -- The file is '/etc/pam.conf' and apparently sets up 'authoraizations'
for a variety of services and functions. The ones that interested me were
the entries for 'rlogin' and 'rsh'. There are six lines for 'rlogin' and
four lines for 'rsh'. The third parameter on each line was 'required' and
I changed this to 'sufficient'. That permitted me to 'rlogin' to the same
user on another station without being asked for a password and more importantly
it permits me to 'rcp' files.
