Has anyone heard of problems with rlogging in from any UNIX machine to
an A/UX 2.0 machine? I have accounts (same login ID) on two identical
machines named 'thor' and 'loki', both of which have entries in /etc/hosts.
If I create a .rhosts with just an entry for thor, that works. On the
other hand, a single entry for loki does not. The bad part is, the
problem sometimes goes away, in the following manner: if I have the correct
entries for both thor and loki, I can always rlogin from thor but not
loki. But when I switch the two entries ('ddp' on vi), I suddenly become
able to rlogin from both! As it is, the latter situation comes and
goes. Any suggestions?

I have an A/UX (2.0.1) box that I'm having trouble rlogin'ing out of. My department also has HP 9000-300s and 9000-800s running HP-UX 7.0. When I try to rlogin out the MacII, I get a message such as "altar.ee.byu.edu: Error 0". Not exactly the most informative error. This happens when I try to log in to a 9000-300. When I try a 9000-800 or a uVax we have running BSD 4.2, I can log in, but the rhosts stuff doesn't work, i.e. I have to type in my password, even though I have the macII in my .rhosts file. I've checked my ifconfig (which is correct), and all the host tables (which are all correct.) Telnet and ftp work without a hitch, and I can rlogin INTO the MacII from any other machine. Does A/UX have a messed up rlogin protocol, or is there some configuration bit I still don't have? Or (and this isn't likely), is A/UX just exposing some bug in HP-UX and BSD? Does anyone have any answers, or at least the same problem? James Gritton, lowly undergrad of BYU

In your .rhosts file you need either the full name of the machine or you don't. So I put in both eg kahu.marcam.dsir.govt.nz tony kahu tony As for the error 0, that's better than an error non zero. 0 is no error. It probably comes from the HP machine. Rlogin works fine under A/UX ever since A/UX 1.0 and I have used it for lots of machines such as SunOS, BSD, Ultrix, MIPS, ... So I'd suspect the HP machines before I'd suspect A/UX. Why don't you pick some machines on the internet and try rlogining to them. Naturally you won't get in but you can see the results of the connections. Make sure that your Mac is properly registered with the nameserver that the HP's use (if you can rlogin to the Mac from them then this is probably OK). I have a feeling that none of these suggestions will work. I don't know why you get the error 0. Tony Cooper sramtrc@albert.dsir.govt.nz
