Hi,
I'm a newbie
I want to do parallel computing, so i have to rsh a Computer B which has 30 cpus.
I know many people advice using ssh, but when i type
it failed,
but when i rsh it, it succeed, since my computer A works fine with openssh, so i think it is computer B which doesn't support ssh. so far i have to use rsh.
and my rsh keep asking me password, though I have followed many instructions on the internet on how to setup rsh password-less,
when i type,
outcome is some hints on passwordless problem.
this makes me very frustrated, could anyone help me?
I have changed A's /etc/hosts.**** "disable" "yes" to "no", and ping B is okay, and B's ".rhosts" is setup, A's /etc/hosts.equiv is typed with A and B.
much appreciated!

.rhosts must resides under the home directory of the user you want to use his account.
For example you have a user test on Host A, so you must create a new account test on Host B.
Then under test's home directory on Host B, edit .rhosts and add host A to it.
Then do the same for Host A:

-A's .rhosts contains one line:
B
-B's .rhosts:
A
try it, and let me know.

Hi, thank you Fayez,
I think i have made a mistake, If i want to rsh B from A, I need to have the root right of B, and modify B's (not A's) /etc/hosts.allow, hosts.deny, hosts.equiv, /etc/inited.d/rlogin, etc.
and i heard there's another solution by setting up . rhosts file, following you Fayez,
now I have the same username, and the same $HOME path on both A and B -A's .rhosts contains one line:B; and B's .rhosts:A. both are set to use csh, but one is Linux the other is Unix (SGI-IRIX).
and now i still can't rsh B password-less.
much dissapointed, I dont have the root right of B, and also for the reason I am using a distributed heterogeneous network, so I want to give up this way, I decide to compile gcc on IRIX.

Regards
