NIM and ssh

[columb]

I've installed NIM and it's pretty wonderfull except... the default is to use rsh with .rhosts files. When the auditors arrive the first thing they look for is rhosts files and I've been told to get rid of them. I've got ssh with private/public key pairs set up between all the relevant systems. How do I persuade NIM to use ssh?

Thanks

smitty eznim ->Configure as a NIM Master->Enable Cryptographic Authentication

is that what you need?

I'm running AIX 5.1 ML9. I don't seem to have eznim. When I run 'smitty nim' I can't find anything similar.
