Solaris 10 privilages question

[reinstalled]

Hi All,

I have a Solaris 10 box I am currently building for a client.
One of the users on this box is a standard setup I use on all client servers I have out there. This user is a member of group 10 (I beleive this is a SU group. This is the way I have always set this account up on all prior versions of Solaris.
Now, however, logged in as that user, I cannot rcp files anywhere in the system even in directories that this user owns however I can touch a file and that sreates just fine. I can write and rcp files anywhere as root just not this user which is actually a critical piece of the build.

Is this just an rcp issue?
Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Hi,

Have a look at the .rhosts setup for the user.
The user requires a .rhosts file in his home directory for rcp / rlogin and rsh to work.
Look into hosts.equiv files on each host also.

Hope this helps.

Yep, that's what it was.
I guess we had hosts.equiv setup in /etc for easy, convience
but my Boss deleted it like a two months ago thinking it was more secure,
well it is more secure but he didn't tell anyone

Thanks for the response!!
