Everything is clear (once you know the answer). As I had indicated the hosts file was as shown below. Note that the true hostname is TOSGCLA, tosgcla is only an alias. Hence when I added TOSGCLA to $home/.rhosts then it was happy. /etc/hosts contains the following entry: 129.243.41.70 TOSGCLA tosgcla #HP9000/370 Again, thanks to those who responded. Michael Corrigan - I tried to respond to you but mail died @ UCSD!weber.UCSD.EDU!corrigan%gatech with a timeout waiting for input. By the way, on the 9000/300's remshd lives in /etc/remshd and has the following permissions. -r-xr--r-- root bin ...
