[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] r* Command Incompatibilities?

danno@onm3b2.UUCP (dan notov) (02/02/89)

I am running the following on a TCP/IP network:
	An AT&T 3B2/310 SVR3.1 with WIN/3B
	An AT&T 6386E WGS SVR3.1 with Micom/Interlan NP622A

I have found that rlogin from the 3B2 to the 386 always prompts me for a
password.  Is this normal?  I do have both hosts defined in
/etc/hosts.equiv and ~/.rhosts,  so I'm wondering if there is a problem
elsewhere.  However, the remote shell commands work properly.

On another network with a VAX/VMS & 3B2/UNIX (both WIN s/w),  rlogin works as
advertised.

Is there some incompatibility between the MICOM & WIN versions of these
commands?  Inquiring minds want to know...
