pretty sure you *still* need an entry in the /etc/hosts.equiv file.
Not sure if this is a bug or not. I always hoped that by using the rsh.access you would not need the the file...but alas, you do.
The hosts.equiv file adds extra functionality. It lets you allow non-root local users to rsh to the filer. Use a line like this:
hostname username
This will allow username@hostname to rsh to the filer as root.
rsh filer -l root command
If you do not specify the username (the usual case) then the local username must match the remote (filer) username, which is almost always "root" on both sides.
