Please send the output of `id' instead.

NOTE the name and permission !

The ~/.rhosts" format is: <machine> <user> (e.g. ibmpor47 PHUGONNET)
The <machine> is the name of the machine in the REMOTE machine hosts or
a DNS resolved name (on the REMOTE machine !). The user name is the name
on the LOCAL machine (upper case letters in your case).

The command is: rlogin <remote-machine> [-l <remote-user>]
You can omit the "-l <remote-user>" if it is EXACTLY the same as the
local user name.

Different case is different name, use the "-l <user-name>".

I checked rlogin (form 2001-01-19, inetutils 1.3.2-14) using cygwin1.dll
1.3.2.  The rlogin worked (I checked the commands on the remote machine)
but NO output was seen on the local machine. I reverted the cygwin1.dll
to 1.3.1 (from 2001-04-25) the same rlogin WORKED fine.
The CYGWIN env variable is not defined (empty).
I checked it on W95 (no other machine handy right now).

Ehud.
