The post Christmas period can be pretty busy too!

The .rhosts file will be in the home directory of the remote user
on the remote system.

Taking your command

   /usr/bin/rsh XXXXX -l XXXXX exec /etc/rimapd

what I assume you're doing is

   /usr/bin/rsh hhhh -l uuuu exec /etc/rimapd

where hhhh is the name of a remote host and uuuu is the user id you
want access as on the remote system.

On the remote system, hhhh, in the home directory if user uuuu there
needs to be an entry in the .rhosts file which lists the name of
the host from which you're doing the remote access and the name of
the user you're logged on as on the host.

If if user 'foo' on server 'bar' wants to run the command

   /usr/bin/rsh hhhh -l uuuu exec /etc/rimapd

the .rhosts file in ~uuuu on host hhhh needs the following entry

bar foo
