Now, I'm trying to do the same with a FreeBSD 2.2.1 box, but rlogins from any system listed in the netgroups ask for password. However, if I include a name (not a netgroup) in hosts.equiv, it works. For example, I have an YP netgroup called "trusted", which contains something like (host1,-,) (host2,-,) (host3,-,) .... I add to /etc/hosts.equiv in the FreeBSD box the following line: +@trusted But any rlogin from host1, host2... asks for a password. The same configuration works fine for our Sun workstations. It seems that FreeBSD makes some type of netgroup lookup that doesn't get the answer expected. Anyone know a solution for this problem? Thanks, --JM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jose M.
