Not sure about IRIX, but in Solaris I think in addition to the
.rhosts/hosts.equiv 
entries you should also comment the "CONSOLE" line in /etc/default/login.  

If this line is not commented I thing the remote system still expects a
password.
Someone please correct me if I am not correct on this.

Ideas, anyone! I'm a Unix newbie!

I am trying to copy files from one server (running IRIX 6.2) to another as a
backup, using the rcp command, but I keep getting the error message
'permission denied', even though I'm doing this as the superuser.

I have checked both the .rhosts and hosts.equiv files and they seem ok.

Is there anything else I should be looking at here?

HELP!

Thanks.
