Create a rhosts.equiv file in the same directory as your hosts file on NT. The file should have have this as the first and only line: ++ (just two plusses, maybe with a space between them). Note that this opens your system up to everyone...the plusses are wildcards. If this works, then you can read up on the hosts.equiv on a UNIX box and make the proper entries to just open it up to your UNIX box.
