Sort of. If you read the manuals ;-) you will see that Informix verification follows the same rules and uses the same facilities as rsh and so the local host (your PC) must be trusted by the server (ie listed in /etc/hosts.equiv) or by the particular login (ie listed in $HOME/.rhosts), or use the .netrc method. > Any ideas about this? > ilogin error : > [Image] > > Client client-name is not in /etc/hosts.equiv on the remote host.
