A few days ago, I asked why my MtXinu 4.3BSD/NFS vax had suddenly started demanding passwords for rlogins. The answer turned out to be the new /etc/hosts file I had just installed. The host I was rlogging-in from had an entry in /etc/hosts which listed the fully qualified domain name first, but /etc/hosts.equiv just had the first (least significant) part. Changing /etc/hosts to have the simple name first solved the problem. I would guess that changing /etc/hosts.equiv to have the FQDN would have worked too. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu -OR- {att,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy "Arcane?
