3A. User name exists on server host? Does the user name
that you want to log in as exist on the server host? You
can specify another user’s name by using the -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 usingthe 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 theuser to add your local
host and user name to his or her .rhosts file.
