I added Linux boxes to /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts file for rsh connectivity to an HP box. I am able to do rsh as root from Linux to HP. But if I run in a root shell as different user connection times out. Any reason?

Try running rsh with the "-l" option to specify username or try
rsh user@hostname
If you don't it will default to the user you are currently logged in as.

1I don't see how ssh could be more complicated to set up than rsh... Thankfully, those are not my servers. – Hubert Kario Oct 02 '10 at 19:56
