remsh telnet ssh

[watergrinder]

I want to use remsh or telnet or ssh to connect to other server.

remsh hostname1 -n ls works (Remote machine)
BUT
remsh hostname2 -n ls won't work. (This is another remote machine. There are some files in that directory).

Could somebody tell why?

Thanks

Are the /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts files up to date ?

Thanks. Yes they are up to date.

remsh hostname2 -n ls won't work

but

ssh hostname2 -n ls works and is asking for password!!

 

[watergrinder]

Is there a way to avoid password?

man ssh-keygen

Thanks, But I would really appreciate if you could some explanation about it (I am following the man page though). How would it solve this problem?

Sorry, I guess I found some explanation

Could anybody explain if I have to enter passsphrase while running ssh-keygen -t rsa? Also, the crontab runs under root. So I think this should be done with root permission. Could this be done with individual user permission? Please suggest
