I am trying to login to a server with a script. However when the password is asked for the script is interrupted and does not run. What can I do to run the script so that the password does not interrupt my script.

there is an answer to this question a little bit down in the page.

Could you tell me the structure of those files?

you must edit the files in both servers, for the /etc/hosts file you can add systems like this: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx servername servername.domain (the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP) you must have one line for your server and 1 for all servers that you want to acces for the /etc/hosts.equiv servername user you must add a line for every user and server example server1 root server1 paul server1 count add as many lines that you need, add the users for the local server too the structure for the /.rhosts is the same. check the permissions for the 3 files for: /.rhosts must be 640 user roor group other /etc/hosts 644 user and group bin /etc/hosts.equiv 777 user and group bin NOTE: the userīs account must be active in both servers, example if you use the user paul in server1 to make the rlogin in server2, you must have an account in server2 named paul if this is not enough i can mail the 3 files to you.
