by Given two trusted machines, how can I allow root on one machine to
rsh/rlogin to the other machine without needing to enter a password?
I have added the machine names to both /etc/hosts.equiv and
/etc/hosts.allow, but this does not seem to allow root to rsh in
(other users can, just not root).
As of now, I get a permission denied message, and the following shows
up in the log:
I am using slackware 3.0, with the relevant inetd.conf line being:
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.rshd
Besides telling me that this is all a bad idea, can someone tell me
what is actually preventing root for rsh'ing in, and how to turn off
this "safeguard"?
Thanks.
