can any one give an example for configuring .rhosts file so that
i can allow some trusted computers in my LAN to access my ubuntu 8.04 machine via telnet,ssh without having to enter password
BTW there is no /etc/hosts.equiv file in my machine, so will i have to create it ...????
I've used this link as a guide before, and its pretty straightforward.
Yes you can create hosts.equiv if it doesn't exist already. Or if its for a single user, you can probably create a ~/.rhosts for that user too.
I think these files are only for the 'r' services (rlogin, rcp, etc). If you want passwordless ssh you'd have to do something else.
