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
