[SunHELP] Why I failed to run rsh command ?

[Kovalev, Ivan]

~$HOME/.rhosts establishes account equivalency between different hosts. You
can use "rsh -l acc_name remote_host command" for cases when you want to
execute command from other user account.

/etc/hosts.equiv gives host equivalency, try to avoid using it.

This will work for users if they have a login ID on both workstations
and is another file that should be checked.

   ~$HOME/.rhosts
