Remote shell functionality is enabled automatically after installing an HP-UX system.
Typically, the only requirement to enable remote installs is to modify the .rhosts
file. There is a separate .rhosts
file in the $HOME
directory of each user that you must modify for each user who will remotely access the system using remsh
. Each line of the .rhosts
file must contain a fully qualified domain name or IP address for each remote system that has access to the local system. For example, if the root user must remotely access system1
from system2
, add an entry for system2.
companyname
.com
to the /.rhosts
file on system1
.
# echo "system2.
companyname
.com" >> $HOME/.rhosts
After completing an installation procedure, delete the .rhosts
file from each user's $HOME
directory to ensure security:

(1M) manual page for more information on configuring remote shell.
