Re: howto configure rshd?

[Bruno Negrão <redhat engepel com br>]

I found by myself. To configure the rsh server machine to accept rsh from
the root user of a client machine you need to edit 3 files. Say the rsh
client machine is called client.company, for each file, add a line:

- /etc/hosts.equiv:
client.company

- /root/.rhosts:
client.company

Also, it´s good to "chmod 600 /root/.rhosts".

- /etc/securetty:
rsh

That´s all.
