rcp as root

Hi.

I have an macos X server and an solaris 7 server. I would like to be able to, in an shell on the macos X server, be able to rcp copy an file from the solaris server to the macosx server as root.

But i am not allowed to do that, permissions denied. I cannot find any info an internet on how to enable this feature because i really need to do it as root because of the permissions on the files.

Of course i can use scp from the solaris to the macos X server, but it has to slow transfer rate, about 1/3 of the rcp speed.

Stupid me, i found the problem.I had named the .rhosts file in / to .rhostBoth .rhosts in / and the hosts.equiv have to be present to allow root rcp usage.Dont bother reply, i found the solution by renaming the file from .rhost to .rhosts

For the sake of security, please ensure the .rhosts file is read-only for root, no permissions to group or other.
