Q. Why am I not able to access the TCPware system via R-Services (RSH, RCP, Rlogin) when the TCPWARE: HOSTS.EQUIV file looks correct as does the user’s .RHOSTS file?

A. Be sure that the TCPware system can obtain a reverse DNS lookup successfully on the IP address of the client system. For example, if you are trying to issue an RSH command from a system with an IP address of 192.168.1.1 to a TCPware server, be sure the command NETCU SHOW HOST 192.168.1.1 returns the hostname that you have in the HOSTS.EQUIV/.RHOSTS files.
