Lines: 22 Hi, is there anybody out there and not yet on holidays? I have trouble with rlogging in on another machine if I try to do this as root. Both machines run 386/ix ver.2.02 . The /etc/hosts.equiv files have the other machines in there and on each machine there is the file /.rhosts with the corresponding line otherhost root in it. I get the error message "Not on system console ..." if I do machine1> rlogin machine2 as root. Yes, I have removed the line CONSOLE= ... something ... in the /etc/default/login file on both machines. Please help, and soon if possible. Thanks a lot Fritz Zaucker
