RSH/RSHD Configuration Problem


Hi,

I'm trying to configure rshd to start up the nodes in a distributed
simulation system using Cygwin running on a bunch of Win2K and WinXP
machines.  As a first step, I tried rsh'ing to the localhost, which works
okay.  When I use the local machine name instead, rsh claims that it
couldn't look up the address for the client.  I was wondering if anybody out
there has seen this problem before and if you have any insight on fixing it.

Here's a run log and the relevent lines from the hosts.allow, hosts.equiv
and my .rhosts files:


Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ rsh localhost ls
My eBooks
Visual Studio Projects
bin
draper
mail
public_html
research
school
stuff
tmp
usaf

Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ rsh dfcs-c77yq01 ls
dfcs-c77yq01: Couldn't look up address for your host
(dfcs-c77yq01.usafa.af.mil)

Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ cat hosts.allow
ALL : localhost
ALL : dfcs-c77yq01

Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ cat hosts.equiv
localhost
dfcs-c77yq01

Harold.Andrews@DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ cat ~/.rhosts
localhost       harold.andrews
dfcs-c77yq01    harold.andrews


Any insight is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

-Andy
