RCP Issue.

Hi All,

I have three machines using AIX version 4.3.3. When I attempt to rcp from
one machine to the other (ie, mach1 to mach2) I get the error message
"Where are you?". I have been unable to track this down.

What I have checked is as follows,

        -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2130 Sep 26 11:58
/etc/hosts.equiv
        The /etc/hosts.equiv file above contains the hostnames of the
other two systems - both in short and long-hand form (ie, on mach1, I have
mach2 and mach2.energy.com.au).

For the hell of it, I have also created a .rhosts file for root figuring
it can't hurt and may help. It is set up as follows,
        -rw------- 1 root system 22 Sep 26 17:15 .rhosts
        On mach1, it contains "mach2 root"

Can anyone throw any light on this?

Cheers,

Bruce Whittaker,
