Hey

We run a couple of NeXTstations on a mixed Network. We intend to write
a shell script to make a backup from a remote machine automatically.

For this we have to do a rlogin without a password. I thought .rhosts with
 <remote-machine> <user-id>
in the root directory is enough. I have already done some modification
in /etc/ttys.  So after I have typed in the password I can do the
backup. But we want to make this job automatically at night. 

Does anyone have had a similar problem and a solution. Any help is 
appreciated.

Thanks
   
 Erland
