Re: rsh & rlogin
I've collected more info regarding our rsh problem. I've tried
to rlogin from DSP90 tp HP9000 and SUN. (Our DSP90 runs SR10.1
with default SYSTYPE=BSD4.3 and sits on Domain Ring and Ethernet.)
Observed the following:

(1a) DSP90>   rlogin hp90000
     Password:
     -- always failed and normal login is prompted
(1b) DSP90>   rlogin sun
     remuser too long

(2a) DSP90>   rlogin hp9000 -l yeoak
     -- login is ok w/o password prompting
(2b) DSP90>   rlogin sun -l yeoak
     remuser too long

Our SUN (SunOS 3.5) responded differently from HP9000 (HP-UX 6.5)
as shown in (1) & (2). I don't know why but
I suspect that the userid of SR10.1 is not sent
properly to SUN and HP9000 as in (1a),(1b) & (2b).

Since rlogin & rsh adopted the same authentication procedures, I don't think
it's the problem of /etc/hosts or .rhosts as shown in (2a). Can anybody give
some pointers please? Is there any bug reported about rsh/rlogin?
