I have problems getting netgroup (Section 5 of the Manual) to work
on our Sun. We have a standalone Sun3/160 (hostname host1, say)
running SunOS3.5. I tried creating a file /etc/netgroup (on host1)
with the following entry:
remoteuser (host2,user1,)
Next, I created the file /etc/hosts.equiv (on host1) with the
following entry:
+@remoteuser
The appropriate entry in /etc/hosts (on host1) is:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx host2.ece.uc.edu host2
1. The username user1 exists on both host1 and host2. On attempting
"rlogin host1" from host2, host1 prompted for a password (it shouldn't
have, if netgroup was working properly).
2. On replacing +@remoteuser by host2.ece.uc.edu in hosts.equiv, all
users having same usernames on host1 and host2 could execute rlogins
from host2 to host1 without being prompted for a password.
3. I even tried entering "remoteuser (host2.ece.uc.edu,user1,)" and
"remoteuser (host2,user1,ece.uc.edu)" in the file /etc/netgroup, but
to no avail.
How can I get netgroup working? Please reply by email. Thanks,
Atul
