I need to run rsh as root from one machine to a freebsd machine in order 
to copy some files. I figured that all I have to do is add the local 
machine to the remote fbsd machine's /root/.rhosts file and to hosts.equiv.
I still get permission denied, however. It works ok as a regular user.
The remote machine is running fbsd 2.1. am I missing something here??
