I think i might have found my own answer since in the man for hosts.equiv said you can't do it for root. What is my alternative and is this true? henry On Mon, 15 Sep 2003, Henry Tang wrote:
I am not sure if this is possilbe because mine kept on timing out and i can see the two computers trying to contact each other in the message log. Both computeres are using SuSE 7.3 with firewall2.
I have added the .rhosts file in root's home directory and edited the hosts.equiv file.
Is there something that i am missing or it is impossible to do?
thanks henry
