To allow a user access from a remote system using rcp, remsh, or rlogin without supplying a password, set up an /etc/hosts.equiv or $HOME/.rhosts file on the local system.
See the hosts.equiv(4) manpage for more information.
The /etc/hosts.equiv file
can contain NFS netgroups. See the NFS Services Administrator's
Guide for more information.
$HOME/.rhosts File |
 |
Users listed in $HOME/.rhosts are allowed access to the local system, from the remote systems
and accounts named in the file, without supplying a password. This
file should be owned by the local user.
In the following example, /users/spence/.rhosts resides on system wsj6700. Users tom and patrick can log in to spence’s account on wsj6700, from dept27 and wsb2600 respectively, without supplying a password.
dept27 tom
wsb2600 patrick |
Enabling X Window Server Access |
|
To allow an X Window client to send output to
an X Window server using the display option, use
the xhost command.
For example, to allow system dept27 to send a window to system wszx6, enter:
xhost +dept27
on system wszx6. See xhost(1) for further details.
