The hosts.equiv file is case sensitive to the case of the user name. should read: hostname username

The hostname needs to be resolvable, so host file entry helps.

The rsh command could be improved with the -l username perameter.

rsh filername -l username command

Try those.

Hi,

We have a C720s Netcache box which I'm trying to set up for a demo. As demo equipment, we don't have full access to now.netapp.com, so I've got no docs available...

I've got everything working fine EXCEPT I can't get rsh administrative access working.

I have config.admin.console.enable turned on, and I have put the host (and have tried the entire network as well) I want to rsh from into config.admin.trusted_hosts. I've also added the host I want to rsh from into config.system.hosts. I have set up usernames for the users coming in from the admin host in config.auth.users, and those users are in the NetCache group. config.admin.access_control_type is currently set to 'anywhere' as I test this.

Each & every rsh attempt is met with (on the netcache console):

Permission denied to rsh request from xxx at yyy

(xxx and yyy of course being the usernames & hosts I'm trying to come in as)

Is there the equivalent of a hosts.equiv file on the netcache? Some other trick?

Oh, we're running 5.0D2, with firmware 2.3_a2.

Thanks!

Ross
