Thanks for the advice.
I’ll see if i can get starccm+ to use ssh rather than rsh because its a secure connection and ssh is already setup (only need to make it passwordless).
I still would like to figure out how to setup passwordless rsh.
To see if i can rsh to my own machine i setup the /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.equiv files to contain only my machines IP and after creating the /home/Henco/.rhosts file, i added the IP to there aswell.
I checked that that rhs was enabled with the code: chkconfig --list rsh and it said that rsh was on.
Then i ran the following command: /etc/rc.d/xinetd restart
After this i tried to rsh my own machine using the code: rsh 186.123.38.42. After waiting for what seamed like forever i got an message saying: 186.123.38.42: Connection Refused
If i however ssh my own machine i have no problem what se ever to connect to it. I can even ssh to the other suse machines in the labs across from me.
Does any body have an idea where the problem may be? Is it because i may not have all the required repositories installed or the fact that i had to create the .rhosts file?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Henco
