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 command 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.

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 commands through rsh on a UNIX host named adminhost:

adminhost
adminhost joe_smith
