Enabling remote connection on Tru64
To allow connections from the Windows server to the Tru64 guest system without having to specify a password, the Tru64 local account's .rhosts file has to be updated with the name or IP address of the Windows system and the account used.
The .rhosts file contains a list of remote users who are not required to supply a login password when they use the local user account and execute the rcp, rlogin, and rsh commands (see "# man rhosts" for more).
In the example below, a proxy will be created between the Windows 'administrator' account (the IP address of the Windows system is 10.0.0.1) and the Tru64 'root' account (the IP address of the Tru64 system is 10.0.0.2).

To allow connection from the Windows server to the OpenVMS guest system without specifying a password, a proxy must be created between the Windows user that will execute the 'rsh' command and the OpenVMS user account:
In the example below, a proxy will be created between the Windows 'administrator' account (the IP address of the Windows system is 10.0.0.1) and the OpenVMS 'system' account (the IP address of the OpenVMS system is 10.0.0.3)
