Hi,

Was trying out rcp between my linux and a Sun box and i always get
permission denied when i tried to rcp from my linux box.

i have included my sun in my .rhosts, & i even tried the _INSECURE_
"+ +".

Is there anything that i missed out?

Check that the .rhosts on the Sun ic "chmod 600" - some rshds will
insist on that.

Also check if your Linux box has a valid DNS address which will
resolve both ways; I know that AIX for instance will not talk to
hosts whose IP addresses it cannot reverse DNS query on. Maybe
Sun is the same...?

I'll throw this out. You might consider installing sshd on both
systems. You can then use the scp program that is included with
sshd. This has worked out very nicely for me.
