Re: rsh
We've a DSP90 sitting on both Domain Ring and Ethernet.
I'm unable to get rsh to work from DSP90 to other nodes
on the Ethernet side such as our Sun and HP9000. The error
messages are "Login Incorrect" or "Permission Denied" if "-l"
is specified. What puzzled me is that I can rsh from Sun and
HP9000 (remsh) to DSP90, even between Sun and HP9000,
but not from DSP90 to the rest. I've check the contents and access
rights of /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts in the respective home dirs.
They all appear ok to me. Is there anyone can help me please?

We are running SR10.1 with default SYSTYPE=bsd4.3.

We have a settup here similar to what you mentioned, but using a DN3500
with SR10.1 as a gateway.  I experimented a bit with rsh using the -l
option and had no problems talking to HP9000/300s.  However, note that
the user specified in the -l option must have an entry like the following
in his/her .rhosts file on the destination system:

hostname username

Hostname is the hostname of the system executing the rsh, and username is
the logon id of the user on that system you are granting permission to.

I hope this helps...
