NAME
hosts.equiv - list of hosts and users with rsh permission
SYNOPSIS
/etc/hosts.equiv
DESCRIPTION
The hosts.equiv file contains a list of hosts on which you can enter a filer com-
mand through the remote shell protocol ( rsh ).
Hosts specified in this file are considered the trusted hosts of the filer.
Each line in hosts.equiv has the following format:
hostname
[
username
]
If the host on which you enter the filer command is a UNIX host, the user name
is optional. If the host on which you enter the filer command is a PC, you must
enter the user name for that PC in the /etc/hosts.equiv file.
If you do not specify a user name for a UNIX host, you must be root on that host
to execute a filer command through rsh .
When you use an rsh application on your PC to issue a filer command, specify
that you are entering the command as root.
If multiple users on the same host should have access to the filer through rsh ,
enter each user name on a separate line.
EXAMPLE
The following hosts.equiv file allows both root and joe_smith to enter filer com-
mands through rsh on a UNIX host named adminhost :
adminhost
adminhost joe_smith
