Hello all,
Can it be the login.conf file introduced in 2.2.2 that is causing you
trouble? I can do a rsh/rlogin/ranything as root to our 2.1-release
machine, but not to any of our 2.2.2 stable machines. The
/etc/hosts.equiv has no effect for root logins (says the some man page;
sorry, can't remember which. Probably the sunos man page for
hosts.equiv), and ~root/.rhosts is the proper way. My guess is this only
works to a system that is pre-login.conf. I haven't had the time to
investigate this yet, but my guess is that the auth-root-defaults part
in the beginning must be altered in some way. Maybe someone can give me
a hint?
auth-root-defaults:\
:auth-login=krb_skey_or_passwd,passwd,kerberos,skey:\
:auth-rlogin=krb_or_skey,kerberos,skey:\
^^^^^^^^^^^ ?
Or maybe I just missed this:
For security reasons, a users .rhosts file will be ignored if it is
not a
regular file, or if it is not owned by the user, or if it is
writable by
anyone other than the user.
I'm not sure, and cannot test it now...
