A colleague of mine insists upon being able to rlogin as root into his Sun 386i. Is there some clean way to support this. Comments on how dumb this is are not welcome as the machine is on a closed network. [[ Not quite sure what you are asking here. From a Sun 3 running 4.0.x to another Unix machine, it's "rlogin -l root machine". From any other BSD-derived machine, it's "rlogin machine -l root". But you still have to type the password once the connection is established. Is there a problem with this approach when going to a 386i? Or does he want to do this without having to type a password? If the latter, then changes can be made to /.rhosts on the 386i to accomodate him. --wnl ]]

You have to mark all network (i.e. pseudo-) terminals as "secure" in /etc/ttytab. This is not something specific to 386i machines, its just that Sun ships 386i's with secure on only for the console, while for other 4.0 machines, it ships secure on for all terminals. See ttytab(5) for details (if you have the manual pages cluster loaded) @alex inet: dupuy@cs.columbia.edu uucp: ...!rutgers!cs.columbia.edu!dupuy

Comments on how dumb this >is are not welcome as the machine is on a closed network. I think the problem is in /etc/ttytab. Root login is only allowed on those tty's that are labelled as 'secure'. On our system that does not include the network ports. We only allow root login from the console, serial lines that are entirely within our Division, or vi 'su' from another account. -David- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.
