Very Computer

I am having a problem rsh from one machine to another. I am writing scripts
that need to rsh from one machine to another, but when they run it is trying
to ask for a password, which causes the script to hault.

I have set up the users on both machines. I have set up the hostnames in the
hosts.equiv and hosts files in /etc. I have set up a .rhosts file in the
users home directory. But it still asks me for a password.

I have set up users in the past, encountering no problems, but I have
encountered this problem twice. Is there anything else I should be keeping
an eye out for...?

Cheers.
