change the /etc/hosts file so that the name can be resolved against an ip - the key to this "talking" between system is the ping command, as long as it works on both systems via ip AND hostname you should be albe to do whatever you like with things like rsh - hope this has helped.
On your target box try adding the fully qualified domainname of the source box in the .rhosts file i.e.:
on the target box type:
nslookup <source_box_name>
Then add this entry into the .rhosts file, it should be something like:
hostname.ukit.tandb.co.uk
Are you sure that the correct IP and hostname of the source box has been added to /etc/hosts on the target box, looking at your files it should work as local is used in name resolution before DNS??
Are you sure that the destination box has the correct host name i.e. source box in the .rhosts file?
Also, the message catalogue i.e. for the seven digit numbers is found in infoexplorer. You may have this on a seperate cd....I never really use it, it does not tell you the specific problem...
By the way what command are you running??? if you just run:
rsh hostname
Then that process calls rlogind not rshd.....if you are check that rlogind is commented into the /etc/inetd.conf
rsh really is easy to set up so either you have overlooked something obvious or the box has had some major security modifications made to it.
