I'm getting problems doing rlogin as root, always when towards FreeBSD machines. I can do rsh generic commands and rcp, but not rlogin. I set a "+" in the ~root/.rhosts file, but this doesn't suffice. Also, my /etc/login.access file has only one line: +:ALL:ALL Nevertheless, when doing rsh|rlogin <FreeBSD host>, I get: # rsh <FreeBSD host> Password: root login refused on this terminal. login: I can succesfully do the same operation on behalf of generic users, other than root, yet through the same rhosts authorization mechanism. Sure, I can then switch root, but I wish to do it straight also. Is this behaviour normal due to security issues? In such case it would not seem to bi documented anywhere. PS: the login.access file seems to function properly when accessing through a physical tty line, ie. through modems. thks Marco M.
