- I finally got DNS up and running (well, sort of...it dies frequently on
- my AIX system) and am now having trouble with .rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv.
- I remember a thread a while back that said you can put in numeric IP
- addresses. However, I don't want to have to do that. I have tried
- these formats and none work:
-
- hostname
- hostname username
- hostname.domain.name
- hostname.domain.name username
-
- In my .rhosts. The files are owned by individual users and have permissions
- of 600, as info says to do. I CAN make rsh/rlogin/etc. work IF I put
- in numeric IP addresses. My SE has said that even simple hostnames should
- work because it should append the default domain to simple host names
- in that file.
-
- The System is a 350 running AIX 3.2 - and an odd number of ptf's, though
- not up to 3.2.3. Has anyone run into this before?
-
- Thank you for any information.
