My original post was:

---------------------

Hi Admins,

This is my problem, I would like to do a rsh as root

between 2 machines.I modified the /etc/default/login

(#CONSOLE=/dev/console), and created a .rhosts fileand

even a hosts.equiv

But it still does not work.Actually the message "Not

on system console,connection closed" is displayed.

I can't figure out !

Is there another config file I have to modify ?

Could you please help me it is an emergency.

Best regards

Hi Admins,

Actually, the problem was with /etc/default/login. I

commented out the line

CONSOLE=/dev/console, but it still did not work.

I checked all the file and I found several lines

CONSOLE=/dev/console.

Several of you said that I should not do this for

security reasons.

I quite agree, but I only wanted to use the "dd"

command between remote systems to duplicate disks and

I needed to use rsh.
