rsh password less login in Ubuntu

Filed under: Linux — Tags: , , — admin @ 12:41 pm

rsh-server in Ubuntu does not honor + + ( Allow everyone from every host ) in /etc/hosts.equiv and buggy.

Here is a workaround for the same.

vi /etc/hosts.equiv and make sure to add these lines ( If its not there create a file )

# /etc/hosts.equiv: list  of  hosts  and  users  that are granted “trusted” r
#                   command access to your system .
#
+ +

apt-get install rsh-redone-server

 ( You might have to remove rsh-server )

Once done.. you should be able to rlogin and rsh the host without a password.
