Assuming you're trying "rsh linuxbox some_command"...<br>
<br>
First, make sure the WinNT and NextStep hosts have entries in /etc/hosts.<br>
<br>
Next, go to the home directory of the account you're trying to log in as. eg, if you're logged in as "john" on the Next box, go to "john"'s home directory on the Linux box. Create a file called ".rhosts" in the directory, and add the line "nextstepboxname john".<br>
<br>
Now go to the Next box and try the rsh again.<br>
<br>
If you don't have a "john" account on the Linux box, no probs. Go to the home directory of a -normal- user account - not a system user or root. For the example, we'll say "fred". In "fred"'s home directory, create the same ".rhosts" file as before. eg "nextstepboxname john".<br>
<br>
On the Next box, try and run rsh as "rsh linuxboxname -l fred remote_command_name". In other words, run the command remotely on "linuxboxname" as the user "fred". The .rhosts file that you created in "fred"'s home directory says "let 'john' on 'nextstepboxname' run commands using my account".<br>
<br>
Take a look at the 'rsh' man page for more details. For example, how to do this on a system wide basis.<br>
<br>
HTH.
