.TH RHOSTS 5
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
rhosts, hosts.equiv \- trusted remote users or hosts
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BI ~ user /.rhosts
|
|
.br
|
|
.B /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The per user
|
|
.B .rhosts
|
|
and the per system
|
|
.B hosts.equiv
|
|
files can be used to allow users to use
|
|
.B rlogin
|
|
or
|
|
.B rsh
|
|
without a password. The remote login services first check the system wide
|
|
.B /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
file and then the
|
|
.BI ~ user /.rhosts
|
|
of the intended user. Both files contain lines of one of two forms:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
.I host
|
|
.br
|
|
.I host ruser
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
The first form tells that any user from
|
|
.I host
|
|
is allowed to login to this system under the same name. The second form
|
|
allows
|
|
.I ruser
|
|
from
|
|
.I host
|
|
to login.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B .rhosts
|
|
file is checked to be owned by
|
|
.I user
|
|
or root, and only its owner may be able to write it.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
.BR rlogin (1),
|
|
.BR rsh (1).
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Minix has no restrictions on becoming super-user remotely. Other systems
|
|
usually do.
