I have an account on machine x and on machine y. On y, x is in the /etc/hosts.equiv file. The accounts have the same user name z. Can I prevent z@x from logging in on y without giving a passwd ? I tried things like "-x z" and "-x" in ~/.rhosts on y. Y is a Sun (SunOs 4.0), X is a Vax (Ultrix 2.2) if it matters. I don't have super user permisssions on both machines (legally).

No. Your systems administrator has decided that machine x is at least as secure as machine y, and further that machine y is certain to be able to tell that a message that purports to be from machine x is in fact from machine x; or that, to whatever extent those two assertions may be false, their value is worth more than their potential ill effects. If your systems administrator did not mean that, it% should not have said that. ----- % non-sexist non-animist pronoun :-) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
