A couple of things to check:<br><br>* Make sure the .rhosts file is in the home directory for $user.<br>* Make sure the permissions on the .rhosts are 400, and that it is owned by $user.<br>* Make sure there is a DNS or /etc/hosts entry for WS_A on WS_B.<br><br>If these are all OK, then the rsh should work. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>
