trying to rcp from unix to linux

[afgs]

I know I shouldn't be using rcp anymore, i should be using rsh, but it's an internal network, no security needed.

I have several UNIX (mainly Sco) boxes that I can rcp to and from, but it doesn't seem to work in Linux (SuSE 7.3)

the error is Permission Denied, i'm not doing it as root, and have tried from both ends. I have the machines defined in the hosts files, and the access defined in the hosts.equiv files on both machines.

Is there a service that has to be turned on that is off by default like the telnet services are.

Thanks

I ran into problems with rdist between SCO and Linux, the two versions aren't compatable. I haven't tried rcp, but its possibly a related issue, may be based on the same underlying services.

Could not find an updated binary version for SCO, and I have no compiler on the SCO box to build it from a tarball, so in the end had to resort to ftp instead. Not happy... :-( IBM Certified Specialist - MQSeries
