One thing to watch out for on NFS-mounted home directories and .rhosts files is that the .rhosts file and all containing directories have to be world-readable (unless the NFS filesystems are exported with root priviledges, a no-no, imho). Remember that rlogind and company run as root and need to be able to read those files. robert -- Robert Viduya robert@shangri-la.gatech.edu Office of Computing Services Georgia Institute of Technology (404) 894-6296 Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0275
