I/Net v7.2 for Windows requires you to setup an hosts.equiv file. Under I/Net v5.01, the hosts.equiv file was not required because the "trusted" login was managed by I/Net. I guess the easy to grant remote access to all clients is to place a "+" in hosts.equiv. To me, it seems like a security whole! With a large end-user population, how do you manage the hosts.equiv file? Do you need the hosts.equiv file? Regards, Steve Romankiw Executive Risk Inc.
