<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
|
|
<STRONG>~</STRONG><EM>user</EM><STRONG>/.rhosts</STRONG>

<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
The per user <STRONG>.rhosts</STRONG> and the per system <STRONG>hosts.equiv</STRONG> files can be used to
|
|
allow users to use <STRONG>rlogin</STRONG> or <STRONG>rsh</STRONG> without a password. The remote login
|
|
services first check the system wide <STRONG>/etc/hosts.equiv</STRONG> file and then the
|
|
<STRONG>~</STRONG><EM>user</EM><STRONG>/.rhosts</STRONG> of the intended user. Both files contain lines of one of
|
|
two forms:
|
|
|
|
<EM>host</EM>
|
|
<EM>host</EM> <EM>ruser</EM>
|
|
|
|
The first form tells that any user from <EM>host</EM> is allowed to login to this
|
|
system under the same name. The second form allows <EM>ruser</EM> from <EM>host</EM> to
|
|
login.
|
|
|
|
The <STRONG>.rhosts</STRONG> file is checked to be owned by <EM>user</EM> or root, and only its
|
|
owner may be able to write it.

|
|
Minix has no restrictions on becoming super-user remotely. Other systems
|
|
usually do.
