Do you have a specific need to use rsh? Rsh, or all the r-utils (rlogin, rsh, rcp, etc.) are very insecure, and they should be avoided, ssh is used instead. If you really must use them, what do you mean by 'not working'? Any error message, why is it not working?

Yes i know they are in secure but i want to test for my machine....

It is not giving any error message but it is asking for passwd

I dont want it to ask password ,,,, just login directly...

thanks and regards

man hosts.equiv

Thanks you very much......
