I'm having some troubles getting rlogin and remsh to work on an
HP9000/370 running HP-UX 6.2  I have created $home/.rhosts and it
contains the following line:     
	tosgcla scott

	On this system hostname = tosgcla, my $home is
	/users/devlp/scott

	/etc/hosts contains the following entry:
	129.243.41.70 TOSGCLA tosgcla    #HP9000/370

	/etc/hosts.equiv contains the following entries:
	tosgcla
	toscad
	lynx

	The previous mentioned files have the following permissions:
	-r--r--r-- 1 root other  12527 Jul 11 12:54 /etc/hosts
	-rw-r--r-- 1 root other  184   Jul 11 10:11 /etc/hosts.equiv
	-rw-r--r-- 1 scott devlp 14    Jul 13 10:03 .rhosts

	If I attempt an rlogin tosgcla it will prompt me for a passwd
	and then log me in.  I am unable to stop the prompt for passwd.
	And when I try something like
	remsh tosgcla lp /etc/passwd (or any other type of command)

	I get remshd:  Permission denied.
	I have tried numerous configurations e.g. no /etc/hosts.equiv
	and only $home/.rhosts, no $home/.rhosts and only /etc/hosts.equiv
	but to no avail.  I have also tried a verbose shell trace to
	see if some alias was corrupting things. Nothing.  I tried to
	look for symbolic links between file but didn't see anything
	of interest.

	Any and all help would be appreciated.  Thanks
