Some things to check:

- the .rhosts file on Linux must be owned by you or by root and have
permissions of 0600.

- did you use a hostname or IP address in .rhosts?  It must be a hostname.
Also, ping that hostname and make sure it displays the IP address of the
cygwin system to be sure it resolves correctly.

- passwords being the same does not matter - rcp does not use passwords
