Hello all,
Could you help me with the next problem I'm facing. I use Cygwin within
our company to automate some tasks on a Windows server. Thefor I
installed inetutils and use rlogind and rshd to login without password.
On Unix servers the functionality of logging in without password works,
but I can't get it to work on Cygwin. I get the impression that this
functionality has been removed.
Please don't make any comments to use ssh and related stuf!! I know that
it is safer and I agree that it safer.
/home/joe/.rhosts
pluto joe
I can ping pluto from the Cygwin system.
I can login to the cygwin sytem by entering my password and will be in
the directory /home/joe after login.
The permissions of .rhosts are 600, so read / write for owner.
Owner of .rhosts is joe.
Directory /home/joe has permissions 700 and owner is joe.
Kind regards,
Albert
