I think it has a problem. Hard to say if you don't tell us more. rlogin to the remote machine (using your password), and run a command like `w' to see what appears as the remote hostname there: j@uriah 51% w 12:58AM up 10 days, 1:26, 5 users, load averages: 1.50, 1.39, 1.29 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT j p1 :0.0 15Nov96 1:11 -tcsh (tcsh) j p3 :0.0 15Nov96 1:12 tail -f /tmp/releaselog j p4 :0.0 8:19PM 1 elm j p5 :0.0 16Nov96 32:15 -tcsh (tcsh) j p7 localhost 12:58AM - w ^^^^^^^^^ (here) That's what you also need in your .rhosts. Don't forget that .rhosts files are best kept at mode 0600; they are silently ignored if they are writable by somebody else than the owner or root. > 2.

I assume you run the csh and have some stty command in your .cshrc. rsh or rcp sessions don't have an associated tty, hence the stty fails. Simply protect it by: if ($?prompt) then stty <whatever you want> ... <other things you only want while logged in interactively> endif (The csh variable `prompt' is only set for interactive shells.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
