I know this isn't the same, but it's what I use for my bbs. entry in /etc/inetd.conf -=-=-=- telnet stream tcp nowait bbs /mystic/mystic (the /mystic/mystic is an executable in the directory called /mystic) entry in /etc/passwd -=-=-=- bbs::502:100:bbs:/mystic:/mystic/mystic this logs on someone to the bbs with no password. (the bbs itself has one though) You have to create a user and group called "bbs" with no privledges and no password. Not exactly what you want but it might give you some ideas....

Yes, of course. Create a .rhosts in the users home directory containing the hosts that should be permitted to login, optionally with usernames on those hosts. It works more or less the same as on other unices. Enable shell and/or rlogin in /etc/inetd.conf as well.
Don't use it on a box that's on the internet, though. Not without firewalling the rlogin port. There are too many risks associated with rpc for that.

Can one do a remote login (rsh not telnet) to a linux box without authentication (i.e. no password)? In other words, it recognizes the user and doesn't require a password.
