rcp & rsh

[DimSoiVer]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with rcp & rsh command from Winnt 4 to an AIX machine.

I would like to use rsh from Winnt on Unix but it works only with some machines of the domain. With the others, an error message appears and say : "myadress.com: rshd: 0826-826 The host name for your address is not known.
rsh: can't establish connection".

What can I do ? I put "+ +" in my .rhosts file....

Thanks

it means one of
* remote host cannot resolve your hostname to adress
* reverse lookup differs from initial name
* your .rhosts or ~ is writable by others
* aix is running in secure mode so rhosts are disabled

Solutions include otherr ways to authenticate like kerberos or ssh etc
