Hi, this is a repost as I didn't get any reaction. Sorry for bothering you again. summary: I can't get netgroups to be understood by /etc/hosts.equiv. Is it possible that the relevant part of SuSE7.3 does not understand netgroups by default? If so, how do I fix that? (for instance, recompile what?) Thanks Kris

I've installed SuSE 7.3 on a new system with NIS configured to get its info from a (Sun) NIS server. Everything works fine, except using rsh (or rlogin) into the SuSE 7.3 system. It insists on asking for a password.
This problem seems to exist only when I use a netgroup in /etc/hosts.equiv (as in +@mygroup). When I put in an explicit user host and user, rsh works fine.
On our SuSE 6.3 systems there is no such problem, but I think I've seen the same with 7.1. Anybody knows what's going on?
