Modifying the .rhosts file on Solaris

A separate .rhosts file is in the $HOME directory of each user. You must modify
the .rhosts file for each user who remotely accesses the system using rsh.
Make sure that each line of the .rhosts file contains a fully-qualified domain
name or IP address for each remote system having access to the local system.
For example, if the root user must remotely access system1 from system2, you
must add an entry for system2.companyname.com in the .rhosts file on
system1.
