My .rhosts file is like this
servername mylogin
(the single line where servername is name of computer,used as NIS and
NFS server for local net)
Now rsh/rlogin does NOT requires password when I login /execute command
remotely from ANYWHERE.No metter am I logging from local net or not
I enter without password.
Any idea why?
P.S. I tried to put '+' as first letter,no change in behaviour..

What is in /etc/rhosts?

Implying that it is not your .rhosts file, but rather the
/etc/shosts which is doing this for/to you.

What happens if you remove your .rhosts file entirely?

I *hope* that this is not the machine from whic you are posting,
since that is advertising to the world that anyone can get in as you.

Good Luck,
DoN.
