Re: rlogin & rsh

I've posted this before and managed to solve part of
the problem, ie rsh. The problem was that rsh didn't work
from DSP90 (running SR10.1 with SYSTYPE=bsd4.3) to HP9000
and SUN. The way I solved is to add in group name in the
respective .rhosts files of the destination nodes. Eg. in ~yeoak/.rhost
of the HP9000 or SUN node where I want to rsh from DSP90:

    dsp90 yeoak.compsc

         where dsp90 is the hostname
               yeoak is the username
               compsc is the groupname
    note: yeoak.compsc.none is defined in node dsp90's SR10.1 registry
          but yeoak.staff is defined in hp9000 /etc/passwd & /etc/group

So when I did (from DSP90):            rsh HP9000 -l yeoak "ls"
and I got the result. But if I did:    rsh HP9000 "ls"
and still... "login incorrect" is returned.

Anybody has any idea why it is do? Is this documented? Is this a "legitimate"
solution?
