-1 option with rlogin. If the desired user name does not exist on the server
host, continue with 3B.
3A1. Accessing server system as yourself? If not, go to 3D.
3A2. Are you superuser? If you are, go to 3D; otherwise, continue with 3C.
3B. Cannot access. Because your user name or the user name that you want to use
to log on does not exist on the remote system, you cannot log on to the remote
system unless the remote system’s node manager creates an account for you.
3C.
Entry in server’s /etc/hosts.equiv file? Does the server system have your
official host name entered in its /etc/hosts.equiv file? If so, you should
be logged on to the remote system without a password prompt. If you can do
this, continue with 3C1; otherwise, go to 3D.
3C1.
OK. If you are using the rlogin service, you are automatically logged in. If
you are using another Berkeley service, permission is granted for the operation.
3D.
$HOME/.rhosts file exists and has entry for you? Does the user name that
you want to become on the server system have a .rhosts file in that user’s
$HOME directory? If it does, does it list your local host and user name properly?
If the $HOME/.rhosts file does not exist on the server system, or if it does
not have an entry for you, continue with 3E; otherwise, continue with 3C1.
3E.
Using rlogin? If you are using the rlogin service go to 3E1. If you are not
using rlogin, go to 3F.
3E1. Password prompt. You will receive a password prompt. Enter the password
for your remote user name.
3F. Permission denied. You do not have permission to access the user’s account.
Ask the user to add your local host and user name to his or her .rhosts file.
