I have an application running on SLES 10 SP3 which uses rcp to copy
files from another host, which is also SLES 10 SP3. Its logs show that
on executing -rcp- the error “Operation not permitted” is thrown.
To resolve this i was told to make an entry in the -rhosts- file in the
user directory, but the problem is that -rhosts- file does not exist on
both the systems.
I checked the xinetd.d folder, where no such files as rlogin or rsh
exist. I also checked pam.d directory; there also these files don’t
exist.
I also tried editing the hosts.equiv file but I am still getting
CONNECTION REFUSED when i try to execute “rlogin hostname”.
the hosts file in /etc of both systems has the entry for the other.
What could be the problem ?

Thanks for the prompt reply !!
Got it to work finally. Had to create the rhosts file like you said and
then changed its permission to 600 and restarted xinetd.
Worked !!
