hi, from my experience --> lots os r-commands problems have something to do with the name resolution. i would check the forward and reverse name lookup on both machines. good luck, -alexm On Wed, 8 Dec 1999, Wagner, Uwe wrote:

I don't have described the problem correctly.

The commands

rsh cvs-server -l wa date or rsh cvs-server date

started as user 'wa' on host sun.gef.de prints out the date.

But if I say

rsh cvs-server -l ab date

the output is

permission denied

I've made the following entries on cvs-server :

in /etc/hosts.equiv

sun.gef.de

in ab's .rhosts (permissions 600 and owner ab)

sun.gef.de

If I start as user wa

rsh sun -l ab date

on host cvs-server, it prints the date. On sun I've made the entry in /etc/hosts.equiv

cvs-server +

This entry don't work on SuSE linux ?

Can somebody help me ? Thanks Uwe
