AUTOMATIC LOGIN TO REMOTE HOSTS

Consider two hosts.
host1.domain.com
host2.domain.com

>From hosts(user:deepak), you wish to logon to host1(user:paul).

Paul would create a .rhosts file in his directory

chmod 744 .rhosts

(No write permission for others) The first line would contain host1.domain.com deepak

Now, deepak should be able to logon to host2.domain.com as user paul by using rlogin.

Deepak will type e.g
rlogin hosts.domain.com -l paul

And he should be in.
