FILES

the local host (if these users have an account on the local host). This
file can also specify a trusted user for each host.
$HOME/.rhosts Specifies remote hosts from which users can execute commands on
the local host (if these users have an account on the local host). This
file can also specify a trusted user for each host.
NOTES
To remotely access an HP NonStop server from a UNIX system or another NonStop HP server
through that system’s rsh command, you must specify the -l flag. If you omit the -l flag, or if the
target server does not have a login name configured with an INITIAL-DIRECTORY attribute,
the command fails with the message "Connection refused."
