[SunHELP] Remote copy

[Kovalev, Ivan]

Only .rhosts file is a matter ( I assume you want to do user level
equivalency, otherwise you should do hosts.equiv - not recommended). The
entry in .rhosts should be fully qualified host name (you might need to
check your /etc/hosts for that matter), otherwise you will get these
messages.
 
CNSOLE line in /etc/default/login will allow remote root login if it is
commented out (not recommended), otherwise root will be allowed to login
only on device to which console is pointing to.
 
All of the above is for Solaris, but I am pretty sure it is the same for
other flavors.

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.
