.TH RHOSTS 5
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
rhosts, hosts.equiv \- trusted remote users or hosts
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BI ~ user /.rhosts
|
|
.br
|
|
.B /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The per user
|
|
.B .rhosts
|
|
and the per system
|
|
.B hosts.equiv
|
|
files can be used to allow users to use
|
|
.B rlogin
|
|
or
|
|
.B rsh
|
|
without a password. The remote login services first check the system wide
|
|
.B /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
file and then the
|
|
.BI ~ user /.rhosts
|
|
of the intended user. Both files contain lines of one of two forms:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
.I host
|
|
.br
|
|
.I host ruser
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
The first form tells that any user from
|
|
.I host
|
|
is allowed to login to this system under the same name. The second form
|
|
allows
|
|
.I ruser
|
|
from
|
|
.I host
|
|
to login.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Under Minix
|
|
.I host
|
|
may be a pattern using
|
|
.B "*"
|
|
as a wildcard. One can use this, carefully one may hope, to allow an
|
|
entire domain to log in.
|
|
.I Host
|
|
may also be an IP address, or a network specification in CIDR form, e.g.
|
|
172.16.102.64/27.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
.BR rlogin (1),
|
|
.BR rsh (1).
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Minix has no restrictions on becoming super-user remotely. Other systems
|
|
usually require one to log in as a user and then use
|
|
.BR su
|
|
to become root.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You must use fully qualified hostnames, it is not possible to
|
|
omit the domain part.
