RHOSTS(5)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 RHOSTS(5)




NAME

       $HOME/.rhosts  -  grants  or denies password-free r-command access to a
       specific user account


DESCRIPTION

       The .rhosts file allows or denies a user who  has  an  account  on  the
       local host to use the r-commands (e.g. rlogin, rsh or rcp) without sup-
       plying a password.

       The file uses the following format:

       hostname [username]

       Such an entry grants password-free r-command access for the  user  with
       the login name username from the remote host hostname.  If no user name
       is specified, the user must have the same login name on the remote host
       and the local host. For security reasons you should always use the FQDN
       of the hostname and not the short hostname.

       Netgroups can be specified by preceeding the netgroup by an @ sign.

       The .rhosts file must have  permissions  600  (that  is,  readable  and
       writable only by the owner).
