What is the defined way of performing RSH authentication ?
If I have a PC which does an rsh or rexec to a UN*X host (currently not
running DNS, but shortly will). How should the UN*X host authenticate
the remote rsh/rexec.
1) Check the NAME of the requestor is in the host file (or known about by
DNS).
2) Check if the NAME of the requestor is in the hosts.equiv
3) Check if the NAME of the requestor is in the users .rhost file.
Should the UN*X host also do a reverse name lookup - to ensure the NAME
translates back to the IP address that the request has come from.
Is this in an RFC ?
Thanks
Steve
