Hello all, here's an odd question, but hopefully someone here will be
able to help.

I have a farm of machines on a trusted network that need rsh access
(Linux Redhat 7.3).

I've enabled rsh and all is working, but the problem is twofold: rsh
requires the machine I'm connecting from to have it's IP in hosts.equiv,
and it needs the user to exist.

Since a variety of users from a variety of hosts will be connecting to
these machines I need to open up rsh on them to allow connections from
any user from any host to work (including users that don't exist on that
particular farm machine).

Any ideas?

The man page of hosts.equiv says adding + + should do it, but it doesn't
appear to work.

I've tried numerous google searches but since most people want to
INCREASE the security of their boxes I'm swimming against the
current! :)

Thanks for any help.

TTYL
