Cannot rsh as root (FreeBSD 5.2)

[Andrew Nelson]

Hi,

I have an internal group of machines which I rdist files around between.
I can't rdist (or rsh) to any of the machines running FreeBSD 5.2
from my root account  (but the other FreeBSD 4.8 machines work
fine)

I just get:  "rshd: Login incorrect."

I've created /root/.rhosts
added "auth            sufficient      pam_rootok.so" to /etc/pam.d/rsh
and even made sure the root accounts have the same shell and password.

The only difference I can see between the configurations is that 5.2's
pam config layout changes.. can anyone help?

thanks,
Andrew.
