rsh from NT to HP-UX
My rsh command from NT 4.0 to HP-UX 10.20 server fails with:
'hostname'.'domain'.com: remshd: Login incorrect
rsh: can't establish connection
My remsh commands from HP-UX to HP-UX or from HP-UX to NT are successful, but it appears the HP-UX server is rejecting my remote NT requests.
My .rhosts file on the HP-UX server is correct.
Is there something else I need to define on the HP-UX side to allow NT access, or is HP restricting cross-platform access for some security reason?

do you specify a username or assume you NT username?

I did get my remote shell procedure to work prior to your reply, but thanks. I replaced the NT client hostname with its IP address in the HP-UX users .rhosts file - and this worked. Evidently, because the NT box is not listed in DNS, the HP couldn't do the name resolution.
